About The Curran Theatre

Welcome to the home of NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet in San Francisco: The Curran Theatre. Born into a wealthy Missouri family that owned a wheel manufacturing company, Homer Curran veered away from the family business, opting instead to pursue his passion in the arts by traveling West to study music at Stanford University. While a student, Curran established himself as an accomplished pianist, composing scores for musicals and operas.Curran moved to San Francisco after graduating and spent eight years gaining management experience in the local theater community. The construction of the Curran Theatre became possible in 1920 when Curran formed a business partnership with Shubert Incorporated, one of the most successful New York theatrical corporations throughout the 20th century.

In order to compete with a rival theater company, Shubert created a national chain of theaters and designated San Francisco as the premiere West Coast destination. Having spent over a decade in the local theater community, Curran provided the Shuberts with an invaluable understanding of San Franciscans’ interests. In exchange, the Shuberts’ single handedly funded the construction and ensured first-rate productions from New York and Europe. Since opening to the public in 1922 the Curran has staged over 8,000 performances, housing some of the biggest productions in theater history, including more pre-Broadway engagements than any other theater in San Francisco. Productions that have been staged at the Curran prior to moving to Broadway have included FENCES in 1987 and WICKED in 2003. The Curran hosted five years of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, becoming the show’s longest domestic run outside of New York City.
