The Skirball Center for the Performing Arts

Located within the Kimmel Center will be the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts. The largest performing arts facility south of 42nd Street, the Skirball Center will provide a place where sophisticated audiences can come to enjoy some of the finest theatrical productions and new films.
"There is no facility like this south of 42nd Street—none with a theatre of this size and certainly not with the accommodations that this one has. It will be ideal for music performance, musical comedy, theatre, film, lectures, and dance. It is truly unique." –Kevin Roche, Architect
