Founded in 1908, Vista Del Mar is a 114-year-old non-profit organization that began service to the community by founding the first cottage-style orphanage in Southern California. Today, they provide a trauma-responsive continuum of services to empower children, youth, and families in Southern California to lead fulfilling lives.

The Center is a remodel of and addition to a 1950s-era Temple located at the center of Vista Del Mar’s campus and was conceived and designed to be the home of Vista Del Mar's innovative therapeutic performing arts program. The Center provides space for both learning and performing a dance, music, and theatrical productions, and continues to provide a space for Vista’s Jewish Life Programs classes and holiday services. Accessory spaces allow for production coordination, stagecraft, dressing and changing rehearsal, and classrooms.
