Climate Theater

Over the past twenty years Climate Theater has been an invaluable part of the San Francisco community and cultural landscape. An unusual ecosystem of young artists producing almost entirely original work. Climate grew through the dotcom period of the nineties and reflected that time and place with productions such as Cobra Lounge which was a multimedia cabaret as well as a host of theatrical shows and events rooted in multi-media, new art forms and new tools.

Climate began producing larger and larger events, including Festival Fantoccio, Solo Mio, and others. Climate Theater closed it's doors in the late nineties and became a nomad company focusing it's attention on larger productions.

Climate opened in its present location six years ago and in the years since it re-opened has produced a host of critically and popularly acclaimed shows including Paul Nathan's Devil in the Deck, Titillation Theater, The Group, 7 Beggars, and Your New Best Friends. Additionally Climate has played host to numerous original performances from a cross section of emerging and established artists. When Jessica Heidt took over in September 2007 she expanded the programing to include the weekly Music Box Series, monthly clown cabaret, ongoing improv shows and the MicroClimate gallery space. She also launched the resident artist program, which will present 8 emerging artists each year.
