| Stand beneath the sign climbing four stories high that has welcomed theatergoers for over 80 years. You imagine them in formal attire lining around the block for the Golden Gate Theatre's 1922 vaudeville opening. They clamor to see the Marx Brothers and rush screaming by to catch a glimpse of Frank Sinatra at the stage door. They flirt during a double feature and flock to see anything on the Cinerama wide screen. As entertainment evolved, the grand theatre with its magnificent stage and enviable acoustics was altered beyond recognition. Then, ten tons of steel, including an escalator, four tons of plaster, sheet rock, studs and insulation, plus four thousand square feet of plywood was painstakingly removed. The Golden Gate was restored to its original size and splendor to present live theater once again most recently, Broadway blockbusters Hairspray, Movin' Out, Mamma Mia!, Chicago, 42nd Street and Rent |

| In keeping with the quality productions presented in years gone by, it is the mission of Post Street Theatre to present a diverse array of high caliber, smaller scale Off-Broadway and avant-garde theatrical attractions. The building located at 450 Post Street was built in 1924 by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in order to accommodate a burgeoning membership. Using the designs of architect Anthony Heinsberger, whose theatrical architecture can also be seen at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland and at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco, the entire 15-story structure was built at a cost $1.5 million dollars. The building is of Spanish-Gothic design and originally contained 100 hotel rooms (now the Kensington Park Hotel) for resident members and visiting Elks. The second floor main Lodge assembly hall (now Post Street Theatre) was designed to have a seating capacity of 1,000, a projection room, maple stage and theatre pipe organ |
