Bainbridge Performing Arts has long been a vibrant community theatre, central to island life. Over the years, it had outgrown its humble beginnings, prompting significant renovations that formalized the space, added an exquisite multi-purpose studio and a welcoming lobby. The transformation into The Buxton Center ensures that the theater can cater to the diverse needs of the community, further strengthening its role as a home for artistic expression and cultural enrichment. It's not just a theater; it's a symbol of community cohesion and creativity. To learn more about our 2023 successes click on this link: https://www.shalleck.com/post/looking-back-on-2023

UCLA’s presenting arm, The Center for the Art of Performance, extended their reach off campus and into the Westwood community by adapting an underutilized, historically landmarked movie house. The newly imagined Nimoy Theater is an intimate theater that promises to be a hub for innovation and hope. This versatile workhorse marries elegance with simple adaptability, making it perfect for a wide variety of artistic performances. With enhanced acoustics, flexible seating, expandable staging options, and updated technical capabilities it’s an ideal space for emerging artists and experimental work. Our dedicated team played a pivotal role in preserving revered aspects of the venue while ensuring that art will “live long and prosper”.
