The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) opened in 1993 and is a prominent regional arts venue located in Cerritos, California. Designed by Barton Myers Associates, the center is noted for its distinctive modern architectural style featuring a glass facade and a central rotunda. It houses two primary performance spaces: the 1,354-seat Armstrong Auditorium known for its acoustics and intimate setting, and the smaller Studio Theater used for more experimental or smaller-scale productions. The CCPA hosts a wide range of performances throughout the year including Broadway shows, concerts, dance performances, comedy acts, and family programming; it serves as a cultural hub for the surrounding communities in Los Angeles County.
