Kodak Theatre
Hollywood, California

The Kodak Theatre is the permanent home for the Academy Awards® ceremonies and the main attraction of the Hollywood & Highland project, a landmark $615 million entertainment complex on historic Hollywood Boulevard. Opened in November 2001, the theater has one of the largest stages in the country and can seat up to 3,500 in a flexible configuration that includes three balcony levels and 24 private boxes.

Our Work: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hired Robert F. Mahoney & Associates to design the Kodak Theatre’s acoustics to meet the highest technical standards of the Academy for acoustics, sound isolation and noise control. In addition to world-wide television broadcasts, the Kodak hosts touring Broadway productions, rock ‘n’ roll concerts and specialty award shows.

Awards: Named 2002 Theater of the Year by Pollstar

Accolades: “The Kodak Theatre has succeeded from the start, winning a prestigious award for great acoustics and design and filling up with 207 bookings last year, including concert dates by Paul McCartney and Barbra Streisand.” – Newsweek
