This is a very special episode for us, featuring the Presidio Theatre's own Technical Director, Jeff Gregory. Jeff has been a long time staple in the San Francisco performing arts world and we feel privileged to have him leading our technical team. As someone with extensive history both on stage and behind the scenes, Jeff offers valuable insight into what makes a show and theatre come alive. Like Jeff, we're all dreaming about the day we can fill the theatre again!

The performing arts and all those who make them happen are a vital part of our communities and economies.

New episode of "Dreams from the Presidio Theatre"!

As an organization reliant on live events, the Presidio Theatre stands in solidarity with all those urging Congress to pass the RESTART Act, which will offer economic relief to the live events industry and the millions of people who have been out of work since March. We caught our Production Manager Patty Ann Farrell in a reflective moment as we lit the stage red in support of the campaign, 45 years backstage as a technician, stage manager, and lighting designer. This is the first time in all those years I find myself sitting alone, waiting. #RedAlertRESTART #WeMakeEvents #WeMakeEventsNorthAmerica #ExtendPUA #LightItInRed
