Located in the center of Hollywood at the historic intersection of Yucca and Vine Streets, the AMDA Los Angeles campus features 2.5 acres of academic and administrative buildings, residence halls, and the AMDA Café.
Performance and practice spaces are on campus or nearby. The Cosmo building houses our largest performance space, which can be converted into a traditional proscenium theatre or theatre-in-the-round. The facility also contains several performance studios; an audio recording studio; production, costume, and stagecraft shops; dressing rooms; and offices. Additionally, the Ivar building, located on the grounds of the main campus in a renovated Hollywood recording studio, houses private voice rooms, film production, information technology, and media departments.
