The Castro Theatre is undergoing a $41 million renovation, with bookings planned from March 2026 onward. A reopening date remains uncertain, yet Another Planet Entertainment is optimistic about completing renovations by March. They are negotiating with Frameline and Oasis Arts to host events at the venue. The project has faced significant delays, initially budgeted at $15 million but now costing $41 million, partly due to trench work for an electrical system update. Construction delays have pushed its reopening from Pride season this year, with the main auditorium reportedly leveled.
The long-awaited, still controversial, $41 million renovation of the historic Castro Theatre may or may not be complete by year-end, but Another Planet Entertainment is now starting to line up bookings starting for March 2026 and beyond.
March is when the booking calendar opens up, according to spokesperson David Perry, speaking today to the Chronicle.
Perry said they were "beginning to engage" with longtime clients of the theater, including Frameline and Oasis Arts, the theatrical event arm of Oasis, the nightclub.
As Hoodline reported earlier today, nighttime trench work has begun on Castro Street outside the theater, in order to complete the overhaul of the venue's electrical system something that has reportedly delayed the construction process overall.
