American Conservatory Theater

The historic 1,000-seat Geary Theater was constructed in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, opened in 1910, and operated continuously until severely damaged in the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. The effort to stabilize and restore the building was completed in 1996 and brought the theatre into compliance with modern codes and contemporary expectations for patron comfort and amenities. The stagehouse was rebuilt with a unique tilting stage floor.
