About Black Dahlia Theatre

Welcome to the Black Dahlia Theatre, a petite, storefront black-box venue tucked along 5453 W Pico Blvd in Los Angeles. With an intimate thrust-style stage and seating for roughly 28–30 guests, this venue has long been a launching pad for world premieres and LA productions. In 2012, the space was renamed VS. Theatre, continuing its legacy of bold, intimate storytelling. Whether you’re a theatre aficionado or just looking for a close-up view of live performance, secure your seats for a memorable night in an accessible, centrally located LA spot.
