About American Conservatory Theater
American Conservatory Theater (ACT) anchors San Francisco’s Civic Center/Market Street arts scene with multiple intimate and versatile spaces. The Toni Rembe Theater on Geary Street seats about the best available price guests, while The Strand Theater on Market Street offers a more intimate main stage with a few hundred seats, and its adjacent Rueff Theater hosts cabaret, readings, and education/workshops in a compact setting. Since the 2022 rename of the Geary Street venue to Toni Rembe Theater following a notable donation, ACT’s multi-venue programming has continued to draw audiences for contemporary theater, classics, and educational events. ACT venues are accessible via public transit and nearby parking, with a range of hotels and dining options within walking distance.
Whether you’re planning a single show or a multi-venue evening, we’ve got you covered with straightforward access to tickets, venue details, and nearby amenities. Secure your seats to our recommended productions, and explore convenient hotel stays and dining options just steps from the venues. Remember: parking is usually off-site, and public transit is often the easiest way to reach ACT locations in the Civic Center/Market Street corridor.
