Description:
- Built in 1922, the Castro Theatre is San Francisco's only remaining movie palace. When it's not hosting film festivals, this 1,550 seat house runs a repertory calendar heavy on film classics; there is no better place to see The Wizard of Oz. The interior reflects the elegance of a bygone era with its red velvet seats and walls that feature molded plaster and fresco detailing. The fanciful ceiling, from which an imposing art deco chandelier hangs, is designed to evoke the interior of a Bedouin tent. A mighty Wurlitzer organ plays between evening shows and completes the antiquated feel of the theater. See the website for show times, a calendar of events, ticketing info and more. Note that the box office accepts cash only.
