The Eureka Theatre is a 200-seat venue in downtown San Francisco several blocks up the hill from the waterfront at 215 Jackson Street between Battery and Front Streets in San Francisco. In 1998, the Eureka leased and renovated the Gateway Cinema in downtown San Francisco in order to provide a venue for culturally diverse playwrights and performers. Since then the Eureka has joined forces with other arts organizations to co-produce work that might not otherwise have a life, and where--in the midst of a space crisis--theater companies from all over the Bay Area can rehearse and perform.
