Bringing a beloved venue back to life, while respecting the special nature of the site

The Frost Amphitheater renovations include a new stage house and canopy, new restrooms, accessibility improvements, and site infrastructure improvements, which have put this historic 1930s amphitheater back on the map. The amphitheater is now ready to host shows ranging from student productions, to touring acts, to the San Francisco Symphony. The venue can host up to 8,000 guests, with a freight elevator that holds 20,000 pounds, and a canopy that supports up to 50,000 pounds of production equipment.
