Pilgrimage Play Amphitheater was built specifically for Christine Wetherill Stevenson's Pilgrimage Play. The original theater burned down in 1929 and this concrete design was built in 1931. The theater was renamed John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in 1978 in honor of the Los Angeles County Supervisor who served from 1934-1958.
