Gratitude to the Margaret E. Haas Fund
Army families flocked to the theatre to watch movies from 1938 to 1994, when the military left and the Presidio became a national park site. The theatre was empty for two decades. In 2017, Margaret E. Haas Fund launched a two-year, painstaking rehabilitation to bring the theatre back to life. It opened its doors in September 2019 as an independent, non-profit performing arts organization.
Did You Know?
On August 28, 1994, the Presidio Theatre held a screening of Maverick. It was to be the last film the Presidio Theatre would ever show in the Army era.
