Performing at the landmark Geary Theater — a magnificent 1910 Beaux-Arts playhouse on Geary Street in San Francisco's Union Square district — A.C.T. combines a distinguished producing season with one of the nation's foremost MFA programs in acting.

The Conservatory's public performance calendar is excellent and tickets are inexpensive. The building's practice room availability for non-students varies — inquire about community practice room rentals. The location is ideal: steps from Davies Hall and the Opera House.
The Fort Mason Center's affordable rents have made it the home for smaller arts organizations that cannot afford Mission or SoMa commercial rates. The views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge from the piers are among the best in the city. Free parking in the Fort Mason lot.
UC Berkeley students and faculty have access to practice room facilities. For non-university performers, the Cal Performances presenting calendar represents the Bay Area's access to international touring artists — the programming rivals any major presenting organization in the country.
