Beautiful holiday decorations. Its always a nice place to go catch a play and eats.

Intimate theater with top flight productions. The physical theater is good. It helped that I saw an excellent play, What the Constitution Means to Me. Find something playing there that appeals to you, and I expect you will enjoy it.

Parking only $9.00. I dont think theres a bad seat in the theater. Very comfortable.

Love this Theatre! All seats are GREAT! No matter where you sit you pretty much have a great view of the stage. Im a big fan of small theatres as theyre more intimate and more comfortable.

Came here to see Jitney! Cheap parking underground and the venue is simply spectacular. Go during the holidays to catch the trees and decorations.

What the Constitution Means to Me. Everyone needs to see/experience this production. Brilliant!

Ive seen a couple performances here, both were excellent. The theater itself is great. Not a bad seat in the house, even in the back row.Tip: check out todaytix, Ive won lotteries to shows here for significantly reduced prices.

The play quality is amazing.We love to come here at least twice a year. They support local artists and directors, making it a diverse space for LA representation. Being part of a non profit they give back to the community thru teaching and grants.

A visit to The Taper is always a pleasure. There isnt a bad seat in the place, the space is adaptable to just about any theatrical need and the performances are always world class.

Love this intimate theatre! Its a beautiful space and Center Theatre Group produces excellent theatre! Convenient parking and dining options nearby!

Came with my oldest son to see the Cinderella play it was amazing. I will be coming back soon. Nice clean place a variety of things to eat and drink it was a treat coming here.

Via the Center theater a few years back I bought tickets to a couple of shows the customer service promises in Ada assistance was horrible the people working in the box office and inside the theater where the nicest way to say it unkind it did not return for an entire year season because of the special pricing this year even though I was off to a rough start through sales I managed to have a good experience with finally having the proper attention to needs when I attended I have purchased tickets for 8 shows this season between the taper the Ahmanson and the Douglas one good experience down 7 more to go hopefully the Stars will improve I look forward to that happening

Love seeing shows in this theater. And the tile work just outside the womens restroom is Instagram worthy.

Plenty of convenient parking underneath...cant beat the fixed price if entering after 4:30

Went to see the wonderful production of What the Constitution Means to Me last night. A simply staged, fun and poignant retelling of personal history in the context of key components of the Constitution and its key amendments, mainly the 1st, 9th and 14th. Lots of Supreme Court history and backstory on Justices and rulings. A great evening, ended with a debate and audience participation. I love the Taper as there are no bad seats.It was cold last night so for grabbing a bite before the event at the multiple, good food choices, there are few indoor choices and too few heaters outdoors. So bring a warm jacket. Traffic heading North, even during work time wasnt as bad as I feared. Southbound looked to be a nightmare.

This is a small playhouse that allows you to feel the energy of the performance. Parking is $9.

The show was magical! The seating is one long oval-shaped aisle. Comfortable,but no aisles available to come and go if you have to be excused before show ends; Have to walk over too many feet. Parking was accessible; Exiting was confusing; Very cold inside, otherwise, enjoyable. Will attend shows there again.

Lovely, intimate theater! The remodeled plaza is a fun place to eat, drink and hang out

It is always a life enriching experience to see a show at the Taper. Staff are helpful and friendly. Shows are meaningfully selected with the larger Los Angeles community in mind, and are usually stories that speak to a global community. Productions are skillfully put together, with innovative sets, passionate directors, and performers who have worked hard to add skill to talent. Seats are comfortable and only the seats at the side edges of the room can be considered any less than great. I highly recommend the Mark Taper Forum!

My second favorite CTG venue. The Kirk Douglas is my first choice for cutting edge plays, but the Taper comes next. Consistently high quality works presented in interesting sets.

There is no bad seat in this theater. Comfortable seating. Its a small theater, but its very nice.

One of my favorite theater venues. There isnt really a bad seat in the house.

Not a bad seat in the entire house. A great place to see a show.

I love the Taper for theatre that pushes my mind. I do not always love the individual plays but I love that we have a theatre that will present smaller works rather than the big musicals and plays at the Ahmanson. Nice space. Really not a bad seat in the house. My only wish for the house is that I wish there was an inch or two more leg room between seats.

Nice theater. The sound is great and theres not a bad seat in the house.

Nice theatre, gets the top plays; smaller than the other Music Center venues

This new site is located across the street from Disney Hall and the Music Center, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Mark Taper Forum and Ahmanson Theatre. Grand street is going to be exciting!

A really unique and cool theater

Not a bad seat in the house. This is one of my favorite theaters.

Nicely laid out floor plan and almost all seats allow excellent visibility to the stage.

Small theater where all seats are either good or at least decent. The plays are diverse and well directed and enacted. I love Mark Taper!

Outstanding performance of Jitney by August Wilson directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson.

Small, intimate venue that makes me feel like the actors are performing just for me.

A bit funky and a mish mash of eras in the decor, but the Taper offers a great venue for live theater in LA. The worst seat in the house is still a decent seat. But tix early and you can see a show for less than $30. Come on! The seats are reasonably comfortable. The bathrooms are old but functioning. Concessions are minimal but they will give you a sippy cup so you can take your wine, beer, cocktail, or other drink into the theater which is always great.

Lovely theater Saw Jinky. Outstanding performance.

Nice theater, even the seats further from the stage offers a good view.

The mark taper is a wonderful experience. Though I havent gone in a while buy yourself a couple tickets take somebody you love and go enjoy a show youll enjoy almost any presentation they have because the modernisation of theater in todays world is really something and every time I been there I been thoroughly amazed with not only the show but the stage itself is worth the price of admission and if you go youll know what I mean.

Beautiful theatre that has so much to offer all the time. If theres a show going on in the Taper, theres a great chance its one thats worth seeing!

A lovely theatre with no bad seats! Went to see August Wilsons Jitney- BRAVO!!

Mark Taper is a wonderful theater, not so big that the cheap seats cant see or hear anything. I have gone to many plays there, and most of the time really liked them. I get season tickets for 3 or 4 plays.Plus I just discovered that Metrolink has a late train on Saturdays so now I can take the train into LA and the Metro to the theatre. Great deal, and the ticket people are nice, helpful, and polite.

Great theatre and performances downtown LA. The Taper is a theatre gem for Los Angeles

The seats we originally purchased did not give me any legroom. The staff moved us to even better seats. Awesome customer service!

Saw Lackawanna Blues!! Last night excellent show. I couldnt wait for it to be over...the seats are extremely close my knees were literally touching the seat in front on me. Im not sure how anyone over 5 feet tall can sit comfortably. Be nice if that issue could be corrected. I wont be back. Too much money to be uncomfortable.

Great place to see great theater, with up and close seating and a marvelous stage. Its signature round shape means some shows look slightly different, but that is more than made up for by how close you are to the action, even in the highest rows.If its your first time, just buy the cheapest tickets. And remember that the best lounge is downstairs, next to the bathrooms.The building has some drawbacks, like chain mail curtains, bathrooms too small when show is sold out, and a cramped lobby upstairs. Get over it.

Even though I didnt care for the show the facility was very nice. The mens restroom is beautiful! All the seats in the house are good!

I saw Lakawana Blues...it was fantastic

Its a really nice theater with a cool statue and the inside is nice

Great venue for live theater. Solid views from every seat.

Great acting, good scripts, and powerful theater. The staff have always been friendly and efficient. This is a prime place for watching contemporary theater. The ushers are efficient and understand their customers. I only wish they didnt always let in latecomers. It can get distracting for both the seated audience and performers. I have seen over 10 shows at the Mark Taper Forum and each one has had terrific merit. Good work! Well done! Bravo!

We love Center Theatre Group and the Mark Taper Forum. Weve had season tickets for years!

First time here. Intimate theatre seeing. Saw an outstanding performer of Happy Days with Diane Weist.

Loved the intimate feel. Every seat is a good seat. Definitely will go back again to watch another play

Great theater, every seat feels close and intimate

All seats are excellent. And soft. Which is good.

I like this theater... small & intimate. Every seat is a good seat.It is clean and maintained nicely. The staffs are very polite and friendly. Always good plays performing there.

Saw a funny play called Linda Vista. Was a nice afternoon. Mark Taper needs more restrooms or quicker elevator between the floors.

Beautiful round building, surrounded by water. Inside the chairs are comfortable, plenty of leg room between isles. The staff are very professional. Shows here generally start on time, if its a 8pm show be in your seat as the act will start a minute after 8pm.

The play I saw was lit

Jitney- great play.

Intimate theater, no seat is a bad one!

Intimate and always delightful plays!

The plaza at the Music Center/ Taper is being remodeled & is a real pain to navigate right now. Its not well marked, sign - wise, about how to get from point A to point B or C, when you come upstairs from the underground parking. I ended up walking around an entire city block to get to our restaurant, which it turns out I didnt need to do. I go there regularly, & was pretty confused, so I imagine it is pretty confusing for someone new going there now. Otherwise, the Taper is a comfortable, well run theater with a wide variety of interesting plays.

Always a nice theater experience. Not a bad seat in the house. I suggest using valet parking unless you enjoy very long walks. Handicap parking is $9 and regular valet is $23.

It was good. I didnt understand it was to be a one man show, but it was well done.

HAD A BLAST. THE 2 MAN PLAY WAS FANTABULOUZZZ & FUNNY !!! EASY ACCESS FROM THE TRAINSTATION. NO DRIVING. NO PARKING. HOWEVER, PAYING STARBUCKS PRICES FOR 2 REGULAR COFFEES AND A BAG OF POTATO CHIPS WAS A LITTLE DAUNTING. NEVERTHELESS, WAS FUN !!!!

Excellent portrayal of biographical Lakawanna Blues by Rueben Santiago & his accompanying famous (name escapes me as I write this.

Really beautiful theater. Good sized but still intimate with its thrust stage. Staff is top notch. Ive seen three shows there. Theyve all been excellent. $9 parking below. Very reasoonable. Check it out.

The theater was nice, but they charged $28 for a cocktail that was worth $4 at best.

Very nice theater but seating was too close to other people.

Loved the performance; great talent. Great customer service from the staff of Greeters!

Beautiful venue, we saw a great play, Valley of the Heart. No bad seats there. Mark Taper Forum is a really nice place to see a play.

The Mark taper forum never disappoints. Great venue to see theatrical performances.

Great choices, intimate setting, lovely theater (wel designed)

Awesome venue.....every seat is a great seat...the staff are all very nice and helpful. We have seen many plays here. This is our favorite venue for plays.

Medium size venue. No bad seats. Family friendly pricing. Great location. Current construction on plaza is a challenge.

Great venue, every seat is good

Watched a recent play. Beautiful building and location.

Wonderful evening to see Lackawanna Blues @The Mark Forum starring Ruben Santiago-Hudson.

Show was great, but I have never been in a major theatre where the usher sent me to the wrong seats. I had seat 1 and the usher insisted that my seat was near seat 51 and there was only one way to find my seat. They need to find another job for her.

I like the theater, and I really enjoyed Happy Days, with Dianne Wiest. Theres not a lot of legroom, which was uncomfortable for my knees, and Im only56, hence the deducted star.

In all the years I have frequented the Music Center, I had never seen a show at the Taper until now. I have truly missed out on a special experience. Every seat is so close to the performers, it creates a level of intimacy that draws you in like no other. This will become a regular stop on my theatre travels.

Outstanding facilities with an intimate configuration which makes for experiencing a play very comfortable and enjoyable experience .

Quaint cosy theater

This was my second show this season at the Taper. Both were absolutely wonderful shows!

I always enjoy myself experiencing live theatre at the Taper! Its a great venue...and the theatrical choices wonderfully varied.

Beautiful facility for high quality line theatre. We saw Valley of the Heart by Luis Valdez and we loved it.

WENT 2 GO SEE LACAWANNA BLUES AND HAD A FANTABULOUZZZ BLAST . THIS HAS NOT BEEN MY FIRST TIME AT THE TAPER. THIS IS WHAT WE ANGELENOS CALL THIS LANDMARK THEATRE. BRAVO 2 RUBEN FOR SUCH AN ENJOYABLE PORTRAIT OF DIFFERENT FAMILY CHARACTERS. IF YALL EVER GET A CHANCE TO GO 2 THE MARK TAPER FORUM, GO. LEAVE THE CAR AT HOME AND TAKE THE METRO. STATION IS A FEW BLOCKS AWAY. BRAVO, BRAVA, & BREAK A LEG !!!!

Its a small theater in a big theater complex. Its random. Sometimes the play is very special. Sometimes its a boring waste of time.

Beautiful and intimate theatre and the productions put up in that space are often beautiful and intimate as well!

Exciting new works! Flawless front of house service. Theatre doesnt get better than this!

Saw the play Lackawanna Blues. Valet parking was excellent. Drinks and snacks were overpriced.

August Wilson plays Rock! Do it for Yourself!

The Mark Taper Forum mostly host plays. They generally put on new shows every 6-8 weeks of either new works from popular playwrights or revive an old piece that was very popular. A great way to get affordable ticket for the Mark Taper is through sites like Gold Star or take a chance with their rush tickets by showing up 2 hours prior to show time and paying $20 in cash for whatever seat is available. Based on how the theater is shaped there is no bad seat in the house.

The prices in this supermarket is lower cost then other places.I recommend it for you.

Great performing arts venue in the LA Area.

The theater is a wonderful place. Clean and updated.

Intimate venue making every seat great seats. Excellent theater productions.

Very nice facility. Every seat is spectacular.

Excellent and prompt service. The play and actors of the valley of the hart were so captivating and touched my hart.

Not enough low or reasonably-priced restaurants to eat at or before a performance there in the area directly near the theater complex. Bring snacks or be hungry there.
