Annenberg Theater is Palm Springs Art Museum’s live professional performing arts venue on the museum’s lower level in Palm Springs. It brings visual and performing arts together in one facility, offering ticketed music, dance, theatre, lectures, symposiums, and community events just off downtown.

Visual and Performing Arts Together

Because the theatre sits within the Palm Springs Art Museum complex, a performance visit has a direct connection to the museum setting. The venue is designed around live professional performing arts while sharing a facility devoted to visual art. That combination gives travelers a distinctive choice when they want a performing arts experience near downtown.

An Intimate Listening Experience

The house is an intimate, state-of-the-art performance space known for acoustics praised by performing artists and returning audiences. Its program ranges across comedy, jazz, classical, and avant-garde work, with rental-partner presentations also part of the mix. Look to the current schedule for the style of event that fits your interests while you are in Palm Springs.

Tickets Through the Box Office

Access is by ticketed performance rather than general museum admission, and tickets are handled through the theatre’s box office. The box office keeps a limited schedule, so check ahead when planning a purchase or pickup. This is a useful distinction for museum visitors who may be expecting general admission to include an event.

Choose Annenberg Theater when you want to add a live performance to a Palm Springs museum-area outing and prefer a close-in theatre setting.
