Big Castro Theatre SF City Hall Meeting About “Save the Seats”

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Thanks to SFist for letting us know that there’s a big meeting at City Hall on Monday, April 3, 2023 to help determine if the “raked” seating in the Castro Theatre must stay, or if the theatre can remodel the interior the theater to have more flexible seating.

The Castro item is 6th on the meeting agenda, so it could be a while until they get to it, and expect public comment to go looooong.

The meeting is Monday, April 3, 2023 at 1:30pm which you can watch online live at SFGovTV
