Hollywood Theatre Row

Hollywood Theatre Row is the official name for the district of Hollywood, California bounded roughly by McCadden Place and El Centro Ave and Lexington and Melrose Avenues, consisting of approximately 22 stages.[1][2]

On June 1, 2015, City Councilmembers Mitch O'Farrell (CD13) and Tom LaBonge (CD4) along with actor French Stewart, The Blank Theatre Artistic Director Daniel Henning and several hundred community members unveiled the City of Los Angeles signage that officially created Hollywood Theatre Row as a "Live Theatre District."

It is also the core home of the Hollywood Fringe Festival each June, bringing thousands of audience members to Hollywood Theatre Row to see nearly 400 productions each year.[3]
