Geffen Playhouse (Los Angeles). During its young history this theatre company has attracted famous actors and playwrights and has produced some works of national interest. Founded in 1995 by Gil Cates and Lou Moore and named after producer David Geffen, the company presents classic and modern works in an old Masonic club that was home to the former Westwood Playhouse. A second performance space is currently being designed for a 2004 opening. The group is affiliated with the University of California at Los Angeles. Neil Simon's latest work, then titled Rose and Walsh, premiered there in 2003. The company performed its 2003–2004 season at the nearby Brentwood Theatre while its own facility was renovated.
