Arts / Performance Venues, Union Square
Fodor's Review:
The 1906 earthquake destroyed all eight of downtown San Francisco's theaters, and this one, a neoclassical stunner, stepped up to the plate a year later. Today it's inextricably linked with its eponymous repertory company, known for award-winning productions by major playwrights such as Tony Kushner (Angels in America) and Tom Stoppard (premieres of Indian Ink, The Invention of Love) and cutting-edge works such as The Black Rider by Tom Waits, William S. Burroughs, and Robert Wilson. Damaged heavily in the 1989 earthquake, the building has been beautifully restored.
