Avenue Theater Revitalization

The Avenue Theater was the heart of the Portola neighborhood when it opened in 1927. Times changed and despite efforts to use the space, the doors closed for good in the mid-eighties.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of community leaders, City officials, and the Portola Neighborhood Association, a funding grant was secured in early 2016 to begin the restoring and reactivation of the Avenue Theater. Our hope is to follow in the footsteps of the Fox Theater in Oakland, which first underwent a similar facade improvement project before growing into the cultural hub that it is today.

With your help, we can find someone who will open the doors of the Avenue Theater and create something unique for the neighborhood and the entire City to enjoy!
