THE MISSION OF THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE IS TO ENRICH THE CULTURAL LIFE OF GREATER LOS ANGELES AND THE UCLA COMMUNITY THROUGH PLAYS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT INFORM, ENTERTAIN AND INSPIRE OTHERS TO HELP MEET ITS MISSION. THE GEFFEN FOSTERS AN ACTIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LOS ANGELES ENTERTAINMENT AND OFFERS A SUPPORTIVE, INVITING ENVIRONMENT FOR ARTISTS AND THEATER PROFESSIONALS. LAUNCHED IN 1994, THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE BLOSSOMED FROM A WESTSIDE PRESENTING HOUSE TO A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTS INSTITUTION. UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF GIL CATES, THE GEFFEN HAS GROWN INTO A VIBRANT CULTURAL LANDMARK ON THE WESTSIDE OF LOS ANGELES. NOTED FOR ITS INTIMACY AND CELEBRATED FOR ITS WORLD-RENOWNED MIX OF CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY PLAYS, PROVOCATIVE NEW WORKS AND SECOND PRODUCTIONS, THE COMPANY HAS PRESENTED A REPERTOIRE OF AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTIONS THAT HAVE EARNED CRITICAL ACCLAIM AND INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION. THE GEFFEN HAS PRODUCED AMERICAN AND WORLD PREMIERES OF SOME OF THE MOST CHALLENGING WORK ON THE CONTEMPORARY STAGE. HONORED WITH MORE THAN 40 REGIONAL THEATER AWARDS, THE PLAYHOUSE IS ALSO A PROUD RECIPIENT OF GRANTS FROM THE EDGERTON NEW AMERICAN PLAY FOUNDATION AND THE STEINBERG CHARITABLE TRUST, ENABLING THE THEATER TO CONTINUE CONTRIBUTING TO THE CULTURAL CANON BY COMMISSIONING NEW WORKS. IN 2004, THE GEFFEN BROKE GROUND FOR ITS $17.5 MILLION CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TO RENOVATE AND EXPAND THE MAIN AUDITORIUM, CONSTRUCT THE AUDREY SKIRBALL KENIS THEATER, AN INTIMATE 120-SEAT ADDITION THAT SERVES AS A SECOND STAGE. SOME OF THE RENOVATIONS INCLUDED RECONFIGURING OF THE MAIN STAGE, INSTALLATION OF AN ELEVATOR, STATE-OF-THE-ART HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS, EXPANDED DRESSING ROOMS AND GREEN ROOM FOR ARTISTS, AND EXPANDED OFFICE SPACE TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF THE COMPANY. THE NEW SEATING PLAN INCREASES COMFORT AND IMPROVES SIGHT LINES. STAIRS LEADING TO THE MAIN STAGE AUDITORIUM WERE ELIMINATED TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY. THE AUDREY SKIRBALL KENIS THEATER AT THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE GIVES OUR THEATER THE RICH OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT NEW PLAYS, DEVELOP ORIGINAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTIONS, AND EXPAND OUR EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS. THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE WELCOMES AN AUDIENCE OF MORE THAN 130,000 EACH YEAR. 403244 13514 EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS SEE MISSION & HISTORY STATEMENT ON LINE 4A 11101826 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 126 0 1 207 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 35 35 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X BEHNAZ ATAEE 3102086500 10886 LE CONTE AVENUE LOS ANGELES CA 90024 PATRICIA K APPLEGATE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BETH BEHRS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR GENE D BLOCK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY ANN CLOYD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA L GLASER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ADI GREENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ARTHUR N GREENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR BRAD EDGERTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK FLEISCHER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HERBERT M GELFAND CHAIRMAN EMERITUS 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARTHA HENDERSON CO-CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAMELA ROBINSON HOLLANDER CO-CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOAN KALOUSTIAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GLORYA KAUFMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORETTA EVERETT KAUFMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR GERALD S LEVEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARLA MALDEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN MALLORY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARRY MEYER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT MINERD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN A OLSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOLLY RICE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOREN ROTHSCHILD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA BERNSTEIN RUBIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TERI SCHWARTZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD SHERMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRED SPECKTOR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORRAINE SPURGE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA P STAFFORD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD TENENBAUM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL WALSH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HAROLD BROWN TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GIL CATES JR VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 DENNIS DOTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GINNY MANCINI SECRETARY 1.00 X 0 0 0 RANDALL ARNEY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 40.00 X 157907 0 9114 BEHNAZ ATAEE GENERAL MANAGER 40.00 X 127433 0 9114 KEN NOVICE MANAGING DIRECTOR 40.00 X 159907 0 7330 ELLEN CATANIA DIR.
