Musical Theatre West is proud to be the resident musical theatre company at The Richard and Karen Carpenter Performing Arts Center.  The Carpenter Center opened in 1994, and proudly serves as home to the Long Beach Community Concert Association as well as MTW. Designed by local architect Donald Gibbs, the center features 1,060 seats in its comfortable and state-of -art performance hall. The extremely large performance area - 70 feet deep by more than 100 feet from wing to wing - was modeled after Lincoln Center's New York State Theater of Arts. The Carpenter Center is also the permanent home for a display of memorabilia from the pop music career of the Carpenters. Each season, more than 100,000 patrons visit the Carpenter Center for the best in live entertainment. (SCROLL DOWN)
