YADA Announces The Opening Of Third Street Theater

After months of refurbishing, and thousands of dollars spent in upgrades, YADA (The Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts) owners Lani Shipman and Kimberly Harrigan proudly announce the grand opening of L.A.'s newest 99-seat Equity waiver house; the THIRD STREET THEATRE at 8115 W. Third Street in West Hollywood!

What do Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Red Skelton, Gene Kelley, Madonna, Michael Jackson and the celebrities of "Dancing with the Stars" all have in common? They have all danced on the floors of the THIRD STREET THEATRE! This historical building served as a rehearsal studio & supper club in the 1940's for CBS, Raleigh, and Paramount Studios. In the '80s and '90s, the building became the famed "Dupree Dance Academy" - where every dancer who dreamed of stardom trained. The current home to YADA (The Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts), for the past 12 years, the THIRD STREET THEATRE is proud to announce its transformation into a 99-seat Equity Waiver Theatre, available for rentals and productions in the heart of West Hollywood, and the ultra-trendy Third Street Shopping area!

The first production in this beautiful new theatre will be William Finn's groundbreaking FALSETTOS. More information on that production to follow.
