The John Anson Ford Theatres are owned and operated by the County of Los Angeles. The facility is run through a three-way partnership between the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Ford Theatre Foundation.
The John Anson Ford Theatres complex is one of the oldest performing arts venues in Los Angeles still in use. The facility currently hosts nearly 200 diverse dance, music, theater, film and family events each year, a dramatic evolution from its start nearly 90 years ago.
