The Sorting Room transforms the Lovelace Studio Theater into a 140-seat custom built nightclub space that offers Los Angeles audiences an opportunity to experience some of the best and emerging talent in cabaret, live contemporary music, spoken word and more. The Sorting Room Summer sessions are sponsored by Delta Air Lines.

On Friday, June 22, singer-songwriter Kandace Lindsey, whose music has been featured on “Pretty Little Liars,” launches the summer sessions with her evocative global rhythms infused with the soulful sounds of Brazil, Spain, India and beyond.

Musical theater composer Zina Goldrich and lyricist Marcy Heisler, joined by an all-star combo and special guests, bring their humorous and romantic songbook to The Sorting Room on Saturday, June 23.

Broadway star Chester Gregory celebrates the life and music of two-time Grammy Hall of Fame inductee Jackie Wilson with “The Eve of Jackie” on Sunday, June 24.

Classical pianist and singer-songwriter Our Lady J, producer of “Transparent” and “Pose,” reimagines her acclaimed “Gospel of Dolly” featuring original songs and Dolly Parton hits on Saturday, June 30.

“The Sorting Room continues to deliver some of the city’s most vibrant, exciting and unexpected entertainment in a wonderfully intimate setting,” Paul Crewes, The Wallis’ artistic director, said.

Single ticket prices start at $15. Audiences are invited to enjoy craft cocktails, a bottle of wine or draft beer at The Briskin Bar @ The Wallis in the Jim and Eleanor Randall Grand Hall before, during and after each performance.
