Welcome to the Marines’ Memorial Theatre

A Historic San Francisco Event Venue

The Marines’ Memorial Theatre is owned and operated under the auspices of the Marines’ Memorial Association.

Built in 1926, the historic Marines’ Memorial Theatre is an intimate 650-seat jewel box theatre located in the heart of San Francisco's theatre district between Union Square and Nob Hill. Our historic theatre is available as a San Francisco event venue for keynotes, celebrations, educational presentations and more. We are also dedicated to bringing the best national, international and local Music, Dance, Author Talks & Lectures and theatrical or film presentations to Bay Area audiences.

Marines’ Memorial Theatre has a rich history, with many classic events in its past, making it a unique choice among event theaters in San Francisco, CA. In addition to being the former home of the Actors Workshop and American Conservatory Theatre, our theatre has hosted presentations by legendary performers such as Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Jean Stapleton, Lynn Redgrave, and many others.

To reserve the theatre for your entertainment, corporate, civic or educational event, please submit a request for proposal.
