Many restaurants and businesses now occupy many spaces. if you want access to some cool perks like access to meet & greets, the Members Lounge, and presale; then sign up to become a Member with the Presidio Theater. It was worth every penny and I'm also helping out a small non-profit venue brings great entertainment to the Presidio area. The lounge offers great wines at a discount from their sponsored local bay area wineries. Whites, Reds, Chardonnays. I took the Train, the Ferry, and a Lyft to get here. Seeing Lisa Fischer live on a chill SF afternoon was cool. She took time to meet her fans, thank them, and take some selfies. My seat was first row in AA1. I took some great pics and videos that I have to post on YT because they are beyond the 30 second limit. Her band was the Grand Baton. I left a picture of the setlist she performed. Some great covers and a couple of songs from her album from 1991. If you're not a Lisa Fischer fan, interest fact is that she was tour background singer for Luther Vandross and The Rolling Stones in the 1990s. She was also featured on the documentary "20 feet from Stardom" Such a great film. I actually like her House mix song Into My Life by the Elements of Life (Louie Vega remix) Become a member, check out their schedule, buy the tickets, and come hang out at the Presidio. See you some more on Yelp. 2026

Wonderful peaceful quiet theater hidden inside Presidio National park. Most people I doubt has…read moreever been here for a show unless you are looking for an event or performance here. I have heard of this theater, but never actually went inside of it until now. it's a nice cozy theater with a stage and two level seating the orchestra and the section behind it. Any seat you can have a pretty good view point. I came here for an artist talk called "Art at the Presidio Theatre: Andrew Pick & Ursula Xanthe Young". Andrew Pick, a pastel and oil painter based in San Francisco, trained at both the City College of San Francisco and The Art Students League of New York. His plein air paintings capture the city's streets, skies, and hidden corners with immediacy and intimacy. Ursula Xanthe Young brings her signature blend of intricate architectural motifs, feminine iconography, and dreamlike cityscapes to the space. Her work--well known throughout the Bay and beyond--draws inspiration from the urban world around her, reimagining San Francisco as both myth and Memories. This show was moderated by returning artist Rhonel Roberts, whose own work opened this series. This is a chance to hear the artists discuss their process, their paths, and the shared landscapes that inspire them. Yes, there is much going in this area with one Presidio Go Shuttle bus and one muni bus 43 Masonic that actually comes into this park. The 30 Stockton bus stops by the Sports Basement and it is also a 4 minute walk up the stairs to the Presidio tops park. I happened to follow Ursula Xanthe Young work and found she did a skateboard exhibit at the Minnna art gallery too, so obviously I am going to check it out and that is why both these reviews are now posted back to back

The class was fun & she was a really great teacher. Since the class was small, there was more personalized attention. The only thing I don't like was the switching partners. I don't feel at all comfortable dancing with any other person other than my boyfriend. Plus, there was this one guy who I danced with who talked about how he's been going for awhile & knows everything, but he wasn't doing some stuff correctly & he was very forceful which kinda scared me. I was so not wanting to dance with him when I had to dance with him during the several times of switching partners. :(

My friend treated me and my daughter to see Dracula Ballet here and it was amazing!…read more This old venue near Civic Center is so ornate and unique. People working here were friendly helpful and polite. You could smell the popcorn inside with well-dressed people buying wine at the concession stands, which can be brought inside while sitting on the red velvet seats. On the mezzanine level, two tall guys sat in front of me, blocking the view of center stage. At intermission, I asked the couple in front of me to switch seats so I could see a bit better. However, I noticed the girl in front then couldn't see, because there was a tall bald guy in front of her! Short people should always get the front rows, lol! Well, the music could be heard by everyone and from what I could see, the ballet was striking as it was beautiful.

What surprised me most was how much the adults enjoyed it too. It wasn't just a kids' show--his personality, timing, and humor kept everyone entertained. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and showed up right on time. He made the whole experience stress-free for us as parents and truly elevated the party. I would highly recommend Magic Dan to anyone planning a kids' birthday party. We're still hearing about him from parents and kids days later!

I did two separate purchases with blind seating, we added a fourth person later, it was not possible to select seating purchasing blind. We were completely ok sitting separately. Day of when ticket email came and seats were viewable all seating had been placed together which was REALLLLLLLY appreciated and not expected!! The theater is old, and stunning all the details in the architecture. Due to its age the seating is not elevated which is NO current fault. However it did cause all spectators to move their heads around to see the production. The row above us was empty we ended up climbing up a row in order to see. When I book again I won't book blindly and will select my seats. The production was cast WELL!!!! Chemistry isn't always evident among theater cast, it was present here.. Very present!!! Choreo was on point, vocals were Spectacular, energy was high, not one person in the production skipped a beat!!! We all really thought Hairspray was PHENOMENAL!! Will I return: ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

I was there for "Dracula, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really" and had a wonderful time. The sound system was pretty good; I heard most of everything that was said on stage, but whatever I missed can be blamed on my hearing, not their sound system! Seats were relatively comfortable and the legroom was at par with other theaters. The bathrooms, which were not separated for men and women, were clean with seat covers and plenty of toilet paper. It was a bit strange seeing men walk out of the stalls in the bathroom, but it didn't bother me. I would really prefer that the seat is returned to a downward position, though, and happy the floor was dry!
