About the Norris Theatre
The Norris Theatre for the Performing Arts was built in 1983 by a visionary group of individuals who formed the Community Association of the Peninsula (CAP.) Local residents contributed the bulk of construction costs for the Theatre, supplemented by businesses and corporations. The most notable of the Theatres early and continuing contributors is the Kenneth T. & Eileen L. Norris Foundation, after whom the Theatre is named.
The Norris Theatre is a 450-seat, state of the art facility that has become the cornerstone of the performing arts on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, bringing leading entertainers and performing artists to the region and reinforcing these efforts with high-quality educational outreach programs for children and adults.
