Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts - Cerritos, CA | Concert Schedule

The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts stands as a technical marvel in Southern California, its striking architecture blending glass walls, pink limestone, and vibrant ceramic tiles into a city landmark opened in the late 1980s. This 154,000-square-foot facility features a revolutionary 6,000-square-foot auditorium with six distinct seating configurations, achieved through moving seating towers, mobile wagons, floor lifts, and ceiling panels that reconfigure the space in under eight hours, from a 1,800-seat arena for high-energy pop and jazz shows to an intimate 900-seat recital hall for chamber music and drama. Hosting stars like Jay Leno, Gladys Knight, and Johnny Mathis, the venue excels in diverse genres including popular music, comedy, musical theater, dance, and orchestras, with setups like cabaret tables, in-the-round staging, and proscenium options ensuring optimal sightlines and acoustics. Nestled in Cerritos, it offers a polished, upscale atmosphere in the Grand Lobby with its sweeping spiral staircase and elegant fireplace, complemented by a conference center, Sierra Room for banquets, and 10 well-equipped dressing rooms. What truly sets it apart is this unparalleled flexibility, delivering tailored experiences from arena spectacles to cozy recitals, all backed by superior sound and lighting systems.
