Podcast: Hollywood Bowl's Tea Room
Just beyond the entrance, a beloved retreat once welcomed visitors and volunteers alike.
For decades, the Hollywood Bowl’s tea room and gardens were a gathering place as meaningful to the Bowl’s leaders and volunteers as the venue itself.

Hear incredible-but-true stories, unearthed through dozens of in-depth interviews and countless hours spent digging through the Bowl’s archive as well as collections all across Southern California.
