The Castro Theatre’s contentious renovation is costing more than double its initial budget, further delaying reopening plans. The century-old theater has been closed since 2024 while Berkeley-based concert promoter Another Planet Entertainment converts it into a multipurpose venue. During that time, the budget for the renovations has grown by more than $20 million.

The Colonial Theatre is in need of repairs..
with more than 120 years of history comes a multitude of problems.
Jennifer Carlson with the theatre says there’s water infiltration, exterior damage and brick and mortar issues. Plus, community members are always asking when they will fix the interior walls.
Carlson says they must first address the exterior damage before the interior.
“So we really need to chip out that inappropriate and old mortar and repoint the entire wall.” Carlson says those repairs will be quite expensive, which is why they are hoping the community will help chip in.
“So we need $240,000. So far we have $70,000. We’re applying for some grants,” Carlson said.
The theatre is hosting a fundraiser Saturday at 8 p.m. to raise money, but donations can be made at thecolonialtheatre.com.

there’s been alot of destruction in these fires. Human beings have lost everything, and it’s barely been a week. It’s the LA area, there’s, tragically, many theatres are gone.
I’d implore the moderators and those on the site to just hold off on making posts about such and such a theatre being destroyed for a while out of respect for those affected or family & friends of those people.
Take that energy you’ve taken in finding that information and locate a go fund me to help someone affected.
During the renovations to a banquet, the address changed. it’s now listed as 306 Baden Ave.

The demolition took place March of 2021, and it was not for a hotel- it was to expand retail/dining options in Downtown Disney.

same company that owns the Hollywood Wax Museum next door owns that Outbreak deal. So would make sense.
it’s amazing what typing a few words into a search engine can do to learn something.
Given where the fires took place, there’s going to be alot of destruction. People have lost homes,lives, pets.
Maybe hold off on questions/posting if one thing is there or not for a bit, just out of respect and empathy to those affected?

that ‘news’ is pretty common knowledge, in fact it’s why Carol’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is right outside this theatre.
That’s mentioned in the description of the theatre.
As of mid-November 2024, the theatre was still boarded up.
they definately never put any money into it, screen or seating upgrades.
