Fantastic evening of top tier world class Jazz with Christian McBride and Brad Mehldau in the renovated Theater. Great parking, sound and community.

Went to see Tony & Tina’s Wedding at the Presidio Theatre last weekend and honestly had no idea what I was getting into. The show was wild (in the best way), but the venue itself really impressed me. First off, the location is perfect tucked away in the Presidio. The building looks beautiful at dusk with the lighting, and there’s something special about seeing theater in a space that feels both intimate and elegant. Way different from the big downtown venues. Inside, the theatre strikes this nice balance between professional and cozy. Good sightlines from every seat I could see, and the acoustics worked well even when the Tony & Tina cast was running around interacting with the audience. The lobby area has this warm, welcoming vibe with local art on the walls and space to actually move around during intermission without feeling cramped. What really got me was how the staff handled everything. Tony & Tina’s Wedding is basically controlled chaos -actors mingling with the audience, food service, the whole interactive experience - and the Presidio crew made it all look effortless. Professional but not stuffy, which matched the show perfectly.

We go to a lot of shows all over the Bay Area but this was our first time at this theater. We saw Walter Trout (a favorite guitarist of ours) open for Elvin Bishop. They’ve all been around forever and they’ve all still got it. It’s a beautiful theater, well maintained and with comfortable seating. The sound was great and the theater is well staffed and well managed. We would definitely go back again.

We took 4 grandchildren from 8-14 to see the Peter Pan panto. We were in the second row but all the lower level seating is excellent. Quit fun, lots of layers. Casting and costumes were spot on!!

Clean venue, great acoustics, wonderful staff, awesome lightening, and solid lineup of performances. For artists: State of the art theatre with secure and clean loading dock. Green room is awesome and their kitchen is stocked and clean. They have bathroom stage right there’s ample space in the wings to stretch. The back drop is backlit or top lit so very easy to put up projections without interference. They have a clean and modern rehearsal room with full length mirrors. Downstairs they have an entire wood shop, men/woman dressing room with full bathrooms/showers and “star” dressing rooms. They have 1 elevator for staff to use and an easily accessible stairwell. Their outdoor area is beautiful and the presidio in general is very very nice.
