Theaters in Los Angeles County are still not allowed to operate yet for live performances. Unfortunately, this has taken its toll on some smaller venues, which may not be able to reopen at all.
However, many theaters are continuing to offer events online instead. These online events are often available one time only and are frequently not announced far ahead of the event, so viewers will have to visit the venue’s website to see what is available. Most are free to watch; some are charging a small fee. Here is a list of the theater websites to check to see what is being offered:
