The Elysian Theater

1944 Riverside Dr. | Frogtown

About

The Elysian Theater is an independent nonprofit comedy venue in Elysian Valley (Frogtown), housed in a nearly century?old former cinema and reopened in October 2021. It’s known for experimental, alt?comedy and workshops, with programming spread across three spaces—the Main Stage, Skunk Room, and the Vault. The intimate, neighborhood setting along the LA River draws local and touring performers for inventive shows with a community vibe.
