Thank you
for supporting
an unprecedented
year of big,
bold growth
and
opportunity
for LHT
and our
community.
Because of your
support and the
support of the
community, We
are thrilled
to announce
that we have
secured a new
permanent home
at 450 Post
Street next to
historic Union
Square!
Our entire
2011-2012 season
will be
presented there.
The
theatre is
located on the
second floor of
the Kensington
Park Hotel and
is the former
home of Theatre
on the Square
and the Post
Street Theatre.
Built by the
Benevolent and
Protective Order
of Elks (BPOE)
in 1925, the
Spanish-Gothic
style building
also houses the
restaurant,
Farallon, and is
right in the
heart of
downtown San
Francisco. In
1982, the
flat-floored
BPOE meeting
hall was
converted for
use as Theatre
on the Square.
Architect Gene
Angell, who also
designed the
Thrust Stage
Theatre at
Berkeley Rep,
Brava for Women
in the Arts, and
LHT's old home
on Sutter
Street, oversaw
the redesign.
Our
2011-2012 season
will commence in
October with a
program of two
one-act plays, Almost
Nothing
by Marcos
Barbosa, and
Douglas Turner
Ward's classic,
Day
of Absence.
The season will
continue in
December with a
brand new
holiday show, Rejoice!
In February, we
will present
British
playwright Joe
Penhall's Blue/Orange,
and we will
finish our
season with Blues
for an Alabama
Sky
by Pearl Cleage.
If you
have not already
done so, please
join us as a
subscriber and
be part of our
return to San
Francisco's
Union Square
Theatre
District.
