Victoria Theatre, Movie theater and stage in Mission District, San Francisco, United States.
Victoria Theatre is a theater and movie house in the Mission District with approximately 480 seats located at 16th Street. It presents musicals, drag shows, and independent films in a venue equipped with video and 35mm projection along with surround sound technology.
The building opened in 1908 as Brown's Opera House and ranks among San Francisco's oldest operating theaters. During the 1940s and 1950s it operated as El Teatro Victoria, serving the community with Spanish-language film screenings.
The venue takes its name from the Victorian era when it was constructed and reflects that historical period through its interior design elements. It remains a gathering space for artists and audiences seeking alternatives to large commercial cinema chains.
The venue sits centrally in the Mission District and is easily accessible by foot or public transportation. Plan to arrive before shows start so you can find a good seat and appreciate the theater's historic interior.
Performer Whoopi Goldberg presented a solo show here portraying comedian Moms Mabley after developing the character during Berkeley performances. This appearance helped establish the venue's reputation as a platform for noteworthy artists.
