The Mark Taper Forum is the round building on the north side of the Music Center Plaza in front of the Ahmanson Theatre. It faces the Plaza cafes and fountain, and is opposite the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
The Taper is a great venue to see a play. The 750 seats are arranged on three sides of a "thrust" stage on just one level. There's not a bad seat in the house.
The Mark Taper Forum re-opened in September 2008 after being closed for renovations. View the renovation update.
The changes are mostly subtle, but the new restrooms are definitely a hit.
