This is a great little theater in downtown Monterey. Very intimate and parking isn't bad because there is a garage fairly close. It's a perfect place to go downtown and eat dinner and then watch a show. It's a beautiful old building with ornate architecture. And the employees are always very friendly and welcoming. * Note- The seating is set by two"s so for example seat 2 & 4 are next to each other.
We saw Billy and the Blood Brothers, featuring Bill Murray on vocals and tambourine (and cowbell!) - a great show! The place hold about 1,000 for a concert - the seats are comfortable enough, sight lines are all good...
GST is a time machine back to the golden days of theatre. The architecture, the hand-carved fixtures, the whole feel of the place is a show by itself. The shows are great, with a wide variety of people and topics.
A neat old theater venue with an interesting collection of acts. We’ve been here for stand up, for rock concerts and most recently a screening of The Big Lebowski with the dude himself. Tickets tend to be fairly reasonably priced compared to anything involving Ticketmaster. I like all the faux (I assume) windows and porticos along the walls.
We saw Zucchero there. It holds about 1000 people, so it us a very personal show. The theater is very nice and the bar setup was very efficient so you didn't have to wait long for a beverage.
