Sunday, August 7, 2011 – Fort Mason Center

After seven wonderful years at the Yerba Buena Gardens arts complex, the San Francisco Theater Festival is moving to Fort Mason Center. We’re excited about relocating to such a terrific location. The festival will still be the same great day with over 100 shows in over a dozen indoor and outdoor venues, including a terrific bunch of shows created especially for children 12 and under.

We’re also happy to continue our Festival in the Neighborhoods preview shows at 6 fantastic venues throughout San Francisco.

There may even be great shows in a location near you. Click HERE to find out more!!

The San Francisco Theater Festival (SFTF) produces an annual event to promote the region’s many live-stage theaters to a broad and diverse audience, from small children to adults, in order to increase appreciation for, and build attendance to, the Bay Area’s culturally and artistically-varied theater groups.

The Most Wonderful Thing of ALL . . . Admission is Free!!
