San Francisco's Orpheum, Curran and Golden Gate theatres are often the first stop for a musical or play’s national tour, providing West Coasters with their very own access to Broadway. Additionally, The Bay Area is home to many revered and award-winning theatre companies, such as the American Conservatory Theatre, Berkeley Repertory Theatre and Theatreworks Palo Alto. San Francisco is the perfect destination for those theatre lovers who also want to take advantage of the spectacular natural surrounds of Northern California.
