Review:
The Ruth B. Shannon Center for the Performing Arts can be found within Whittier College and is a part of their Department of Theatre Arts. Having opened in 1990, the center houses two state-of-the-art venues: the 403-seat Robinson Theatre and the more intimate 75-seat Studio Theatre. Since it was established, the theatre has welcomed award-winning artists such as Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz, Oscar-winning composer Henry Mancini, and Grammy Award-winning group Los Lobos. Several programs are held at the center throughout the year, all of which reflect the diverse cultural backgrounds of the community. In addition to their fall and spring productions, the center is also home of the J.S. Bach Festival and the Whittier College Writers’ Festival.
