The Old Venetian Bakery Theatre

2200 Powell St. | map |

Opened: September 1980 according to research by Jack Tillmany. He notes: "The Old Venetian Bakery Theatre operated for 2 unsuccessful (critically and financially) years. This photo by Tom Gray may be the only one in existence."

Thanks to Jack for sharing the photo as well as his research as a post on the Bay Area Historic Theatres Facebook page. The building was on the east side of the street between Francisco St. and Bay St. It was just south of the Northpoint Theatre

Closing: September 1982.

Status: The building has been demolished. There's now a post office on the site.

More information: Jack notes: "Further details about the operation can be found on Pages 75-76 of 'San Francisco Stages' by Dean Goodman."

Jack's Arcadia Publishing book "Theatres of San Francisco" can be previewed on Google Books. It's available from Amazon or your local bookseller.
