The Castro Theatre has re-opened in San Francisco, and maybe the renovation is actually OK (although I think the seat color is atrocious). I'm delighted to see the calendar still includes a Sound of Music sing-along.

As a supremely Covid-cautious person I won't be going to any shows, but I'm still glad to have this gem looking pretty good. I mean, just look at that cupola!

The Castro Theatre Reopens Today, and We Have Photos

Stage lights were being hung, carpets were being vacuumed, and the bars were being stocked with booze Friday as the grand dame of San Francisco historic movie palaces, the Castro Theatre, reemerges from a two-year renovation.
