I hosted a cabaret-style musical show at the larger of the two Shelton Theaters. I’m glad that Matt Shelton suggested I stop in the week before, as I realized what I was working with. I really suggest visiting the space if you have particular sound specifications, as they rely mainly on natural acoustics and the sound system is fairly minimal (understandably as it is an intimate space). I also suggest finding out if there is another production happening concurrently with your event, as to avoid any unfortunate overlap or conflict of use of the space. Thankfully, albeit needing to make some adjustments to my vision of the use of the space, Matt and Jon were exceptionally helpful in accommodating my requests and needs. Jon was very enthusiastic and helpful as my tech operator (lights and sound), and I’m glad I allowed and reserved technical rehearsal time as we were all, for the most part, on the same page for my performance. I can not recommend this venue enough for its location, and more importantly, the hospitality and helpfulness offered by Jon and Matt. They are a last vestige of a genuine, real theater experience in downtown San Francisco.

Matt’s place was exactly what I wanted. Matt was extremely helpful when it came to setting everything up, tech support and more. I was extremely grateful that I found this location on Peer Space.
