Keck Theatre

Occidental College is a small, well established university situated on a picturesque hillside campus in the Eagle Rock district of Los Angeles. Occidental is well known and highly regarded for its theatre, film and music departments.

The 450 seat Keck Theatre was built to accommodate all the needs of the theatre department and includes costume and scene shops as well as rehearsal rooms, classrooms and offices. The Keck Theatre is distinguished by the combination of its large stage tower with a totally flexible auditorium. The seating in the orchestra section is mounted on lifts which allow the theatre to be converted into an arena stage at the push of a button.
