Beverly Hills

Since 2015, our Westside series has taken up residence at the historic Art Deco-style, 1,900-seat SABAN Theatre on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills (formerly the Wilshire Theatre Beverly Hills). A classic Los Angeles landmark, The SABAN Theatre originally opened as the Fox Wilshire Theatre on September 19, 1930. You’ll notice the preserved, striking interior of this theatre as soon as you enter: The columned two-story rotunda lobby greets you and is perfect for a pre-lecture cocktail. Head to your seats and you’ll be struck by the silver, gold and black proscenium and organ screens that have a gothic-like feel to them. You don’t have to go far before or after the show for dinner! Head around the corner and dine at the famous Blasteran. Lawry’s Prime Rib and Fogo de Chao are also nearby, as is Prospect Gourmand and Gyu-Kaku. A variety perfect for every palate! With our #SpeakersLA events always taking place on Sunday evenings in Beverly Hills, this location is ideal for those wanting to “make a night of it!”
