Presidio Theatre Performing Arts — Attraction in San Francisco

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.

I videotaped a song & heard an usher yelling at me to stop after I was done. There were no signs saying no videotaping that I saw. Nor was anything noted at ticket sales.
