Win Tix: Remembering Playland at the Beach | Balboa Theatre

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Balboa Theatre hosts the World Premiere of Tom Wyrsch’s newest film, “Remembering Playland at the Beach” – a full length documentary which tells the story of San Francisco’s famous 10-acre Ocean Beach amusement park which was torn down in 1972 to make way for a condominium development.

Gone now for nearly four decades, it remains one of the city’s lost treasures. Go back in time to see Laffing Sal, the Fun House, the Carousel, the Big Dipper, Fun-tier Town, and more, all through the eyes of the people who were there. Q&A with director Tom Wyrsch after each screening.

We’ve got one pair to give away for Wednesday nights 9:15p screening so you can relive San Francisco’s past for free!
