Giants Buy San Francisco’s Curran Theatre

The deal keeps the Curran’s programming intact under BroadwaySF via ATG.

Overview

  • The team purchased the 1922 Geary Street venue from Carole Shorenstein Hays in a private sale for an undisclosed amount.
  • BroadwaySF will continue to operate the house under its agreement with Ambassador Theater Group, and the current schedule remains unchanged.
  • Giants President Larry Baer said the acquisition broadens the club’s live‑events portfolio with plans to host more music, comedy, and family entertainment.
  • Mayor Daniel Lurie praised the move as a vote of confidence in Union Square’s recovery, with other civic leaders welcoming the transaction.
  • The Curran has staged notable pre‑Broadway runs including Fences and Wicked and underwent a major renovation under Shorenstein Hays prior to a 2019 operating shakeup.
