Great theatre with great actors. Every play I have seen here has been more than worth the while. Kuddos to all that work and support this.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Priyanka KanseMarch 9, 2014Isn't really a bad seat in this compact theatre. if you're visiting for the first time be warned that the entrance is in the hotel and it's only up one flight of stairs (don't wait for the elevator!)

Last SF holdout for mandatory face masking, when rest of world has long since moved on. Party like it’s 2020!- Justin DSeptember 10, 2014You can bring your wine glass to your seat, but you'll have to awkwardly hold onto it or put it on the floor until intermission.
Check out the maquettes from past productions on display in the back of the lobby.
Order your intermission drinks first to avoid the rust
Don't miss glass of champagne on opening night. Bring in to theater. How great is that!?
The folks who run SF Playhouse are unpretentious, funny & kind.

"No sense in getting here more than 30 minutes before show time. Seating starts about 20 minutes before show time, the ushers are very good at getting you seated quickly. All in all it is enjoyable"
