Morgan-Wixson Theatre

The Morgan-Wixson Theatre is one of Santa Monica's oldest arts institutions but — true to its dramatic mission — it perpetually reinvents itself. Mainstage productions connect the community, inspire, entertain, and educate through plays like Fences, Pippin, and The Secret Garden. The Youth Education/Entertainment Series, or Y.E.S. — named Outstanding New Children's Theatre Company for 2008 — seeks to engage young audiences, train young talent, and support literacy through stage adaptations of children's literature. Community volunteers on stage and backstage keep the theatre thriving. The MWT is an artistic home for all with energies and talents to "put on a show!"
