BroadStage

About Us

BroadStage is a contemporary performing arts presenter in Santa Monica that energizes audiences and community through bold performances and personal connection. We offer a performance season with something for everyone - from music and dance to theatre and comedy. A proud partner of Santa Monica College, BroadStage’s primary venue is the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center, which includes three venues: The Eli & Edythe Broad Stage, a 535-seat venue combining the warmth of a small theater with the acoustics and staging of a grand hall, The Edye, an intimate black box space, and The Plaza an indoor/outdoor space perfect for live music, dancing, and community building. BroadStage is also part of the SMC tradition of community service by providing educational programs for high school and college students, artist workshops, and special events through our Artist in Residency Program, Community Field Trips, Student Nights, and more. After a 15-year anniversary in 2023, BroadStage is expanding to meet a rapidly evolving set of needs for artists and audiences. We are committed to making every event special with outstanding artistic performances in our venues and unforgettable, interactive, and immersive experiences on the Plaza that celebrate the power of live art and connection.
