The Great American Music Hall is a concert hall in San Francisco, California. It is located on O'Farrell Street in the Tenderloin neighborhood on the same block as the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater. It is known for its decorative balconies, columns, and frescoes and for its history of unique entertainment, which has included burlesque dancing as well as jazz, folk music, and rock'n'roll concerts. The capacity of the hall is 600 people.HistoryBlanco's and Music BoxThe hall was established in 1907 during the period of rebuilding that followed the 1906 earthquake. Its interior was designed by a French architect. It was originally called Blanco's, after a notorious Barbary Coast house of prostitution.In 1936, Sally Rand, known for her fan dance and bubble dance acts, acquired the property and branded it the Music Box. It closed with the end of World War II, reopened in 1948 as a jazz club that reused the name Blanco's, and in the 1950s the building was used by members of the Loyal Order of the Moose. The venue went into a long decline that nearly resulted in the demolition of the building.
Built in 1927, the Nourse Theater is a landmark venue located in the heart of San Francisco’s performing arts district (across the street from Davies Hall musicians’ entrance). The hall has been closed to the public for over thirty years. In 2012, City Arts & Lectures began a restoration project and brought the theater back to public use in 2013. The hall features excellent acoustics, a well-designed layout offering unobstructed views throughout the orchestra and balcony, and original architectural details. City Arts & Lectures has refurbished the 1,689-seat hall, installing state of the art lighting and high quality sound equipment including Meyer speakers, new curtains, plush upholstered seats, newly decorated green room, and a dressing room. The Nourse is an ideal venue for a wide range of performances and a uniquely beautiful setting.

Amnesia is a cozy, red-lit room in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District, but that’s the simple description. We like to think of Amnesia as a vessel. A working ship, maybe. Not the prettiest boat in the harbor, but she’s got stories. She’s sees more action in a week than others will see in a lifetime. Her hold is filled with experiences and, despite her name, her memory is strong. She remembers every undulation on the dance floor, every scream, every solo, every laugh and tear, and every shout for encores.

RECOMMENDATIONS/PRAISE FROM CLIENTS: http://www.sfpublicist.com/SFPublicist/Praise_from_clients.html “Lisa Geduldig produced, marketed, and did a tremendous publicity job for two of my concerts in San Francisco. Lisa is a magnificent promoter; her imagination to produce excitement for any event is limitless. I highly respect her talent, and I will be very lucky to work with her again.” - Charo ------------- Lisa was my Publicist and Show Producer for the 2012 DVD taping of my stand up comedy special in San Francisco. Not only did she source the beautiful theater, she liaised with them on my behalf to secure the venue, and organized all pre-show press interviews and newspaper articles. She did a spectacular job, so much so, I credit her for helping me completely sell out the theater, making my taping a roaring success. I would not hesitate to work with her again, and I'm actually loathe to write this reference, as I want to keep her for myself! - Gina Yashere, comedian ------------- "I hired Lisa Geduldig to help promote the West Coast premiere of an American opera. Her doggedness and professionalism with the media resulted in outstanding local and national press. I would highly recommend and hope to work with her again." - Michael Colbruno, opera producer ------------- “Lisa Geduldig did PR for Bay Area National Latino AIDS Awareness Day, and she did an excellent job. She secured pre and post-event press coverage in both the Spanish and English-speaking press. We were able to gain the visibility we needed to help gain community awareness of HIV/AIDS issues impacting Latinos/Latinas in the area. I'd recommend her PR services; she is not only efficient but also culturally competent to respond to the needs of the Latino community.” - Maricarmen Arjona, Public Health ------------- “Lisa Geduldig hizo un excelente trabajo de relaciones públicas para el Día Nacional de Concientización sobre el SIDA en el Area de la Bahía. Lisa aseguró la cobertura de medios antes y después del evento tanto en español como inglés, y nuestro esfuerzo tuvo la visibilidad que necesitabamos para ayudar a concientizar a la comunidad sobre los temas del VIH/SIDA que afectan a los latinos/latinas de la zona. Con gusto recomiendo los servicios de Lisa; además de ser eficiente, dispone de la competencia cultural que este tipo de labor requiere para trabajar con la comunidad latina.” - Maricarmen Arjona, Salud Pública
