Alcazar Theatre, Theatre and masonic temple in San Francisco, United States
The Alcazar Theatre on Geary Street is a theater and former Masonic temple that holds approximately 500 seats. It presents Broadway productions and theatrical plays throughout the year, serving as a regular venue for live performance.
The building was constructed in 1917 as a Shriners temple and designed by architect T. Patterson Ross in an Exotic Revival style. Over time, the sacred space was transformed into a theater venue that continues to operate today.
The venue functions as a gathering place where artists and audiences come together for theatrical performances and live entertainment. Local and touring productions find a home here, drawing people from across the city to experience art and drama.
The venue offers flexible configurations for shows, private events, and public performances depending on your needs. Visitors should check in advance about current offerings and what is scheduled during their visit.
The exterior draws from Alhambra architecture, blending North African design elements with American theater construction. This uncommon combination makes the building visually distinctive in a way many visitors overlook.
