Curran Theatre (historic downtown playhouse)

The Curran Theatre opened in 1922 as a vaudeville and movie palace and has since been adapted for live theatrical productions and concerts. Over the 20th and 21st centuries the Curran has hosted touring Broadway shows, local premieres, and community events, with several renovations preserving its historic auditorium. The theatre is part of San Francisco's downtown theatrical district and remains an active performance venue under professional management. Its stage and interior detailing are frequently cited in accounts of the city's historic theaters.
