Another Planet Entertainment (APE) is partnering with the owners of the Castro Theatre to improve the sound, lighting, production, and more of the historic building to make it into a new music venue. CEO and Co-Founder of Another Planet Entertainment, Gregg Perloff, said in a statement,
The Castro Theatre is a wonderful building that we will upgrade for more use in the future. We want to activate and re-energize the building, making improvements to the customer and artist experience, including dressing room upgrades, restoring the marquee and blade and expanding food and beverage service. We want to present all sorts of programming in the theater - comedy, music, film, community and private events and more. We look forward to further contributing to the culture and economy of this vibrant neighborhood.
Castro Theatre was built in 1922 and became a San Francisco landmark in 1976.
