A.C.T.’s Strand Theater
The Verdict
"Aufführungsort für die neuesten gewagten Werke der American Conservatory Theater. Die Bühnenausstattung variiert je nach Produktion, manchmal sitzen die Zuschauer rund um die Aufführung."
What you need to know
The Strand is ACT’s roughly 280-seat second stage on Market in Mid-Market, a 1917 movie theater about a mile west of the company’s main house on Geary.
What to Expect
This is where ACT programs newer or smaller-scale work: world premieres, adaptations, solo shows. The staging is flexible; some productions use a full proscenium, others put the audience on two or three sides. The lobby has a small bar, and Hayes Valley, about a 10-minute walk west, has more pre-show dining.
Getting There
Civic Center BART is about four blocks west, Powell BART about five blocks east. The F-Market streetcar and many Muni lines run along Market.
