Biography

The mission of the Presidio Theatre is to ensure that the magic of live performance is accessible to the entire community. By reawakening an architectural jewel in the Presidio and creating a professionally run venue that reflects the rich diversity of the Bay Area, the Presidio Theatre encourages artists to grow and flourish. Today, the historic theater is a home for beloved San Francisco Bay Area artists and events including the Children’s Theatre Association of San Francisco, Robert Moses’ KIN, SFArtsEd, the Queer Women of Color Film Festival, and a uniquely San Franciscan twist on classic British holiday pantomimes, Panto in the Presidio. Panto combines slapstick humor, one-line zingers, outrageous characters, and send-ups of current events. Now in its third year, Panto in the Presidio has delighted more than 15,000 audience members young and old. A wildly funny musical mashup of true love, talking dogs, singing chickens, and dancing ghosts, with enough fairy magic for the entire family, Panto in the Presidio’s presentation of Sleeping Beauty returns by popular demand from November 25–December 30.
