Destiny of Desire returns to the Mark Taper Forum on Saturday, November 21, 2026, with a 2:00 PM start. This is a second weekend on the calendar after the November 14 performance, so anyone who missed the first date has another chance. It also earns a spot on any shortlist of things happening in Los Angeles in late fall.
When: Saturday, November 21, 2026, 2:00 PM
Where: Mark Taper Forum, 135 N. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012

What to expect
The listing classifies the show as live performance art under Arts and Theatre. We have the date, time, venue and ticket links from the ticketing listing, but no published cast list, running time or program notes, so check the ticket page for current details before you go.
The Taper is one of the more intimate rooms in the city. The house wraps around the stage, which keeps even the back rows close to the action. That closeness is why many Angelenos prefer to see new plays and experimental work here rather than in a larger hall.
Why a Saturday matinee works
A 2:00 PM curtain leaves the rest of the day open. Have lunch on Bunker Hill, take in the show, then head to dinner or a walk through Grand Park afterward. If you are planning around LA events this weekend, a matinee is the easiest kind to slot in without a late night or a hunt for evening parking.
Getting there
The Music Center sits at Grand Avenue and 1st Street in downtown. Metro's B and D lines stop at Civic Center/Grand Park, a short uphill walk from the plaza. Parking is available in the Music Center garage and nearby lots. Afternoon shows are easier than evening ones, but still leave extra time to find a space, pick up tickets and settle into your seat.
Before you buy
The ticket listing carries more than one link for this production, which usually means separate performances. Compare dates on the page so you book the 2:00 PM show on the 21st. For more on what is coming up, browse upcoming events in Los Angeles on our arts and culture page.
