Our theater is OPEN and we are now accepting new rentals!
Dance Mission Theater is an accessibly-priced performance venue in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District. It exists to foster community, encourage innovative collaborations, and nurture emerging dancers and choreographers.
Dance Mission Theater is a 135-person capacity black box theater with professional lighting and sound capabilities. Stage dimensions are 28 feet wide by 35 feet deep, with four 4-foot wings per side.
