The Crest Theatre is a historic theater located in downtown Sacramento, California, just blocks from the State Capital, the Sacramento Convention Center, and the new Sacramento Kings basketball arena (under construction). It was originally opened in 1912 as the Empress Theatre, a vaudeville palace. It later operated as the Hippodrome theatre. On September 14, 1946, the Hippodrome’s marquee suddenly fell to the pavement below, killing a bystander. Shortly after the tragedy, in 1949, the building was completely remodeled and revamped to its current form as the art deco Crest Theatre. During the 1950s and 1960s, it was one of the premier first-run movie palaces in the Sacramento area. In the 1970s, it was reduced to mostly sub-run fare and eventually closed in the early 1980s. Several attempts were made to revive the theatre, ultimately succeeding in 1986. A fire in a neighboring building consumed a portion of the property in 1993, causing smoke damage but sparing the theatre. The fire insurance settlement, combined with redevelopment grants provided by the City of Sacramento, allowed for most of the restoration of the historic theatre and construction of two basement screening rooms. The restoration continued in 2009, including refurbishment of the brilliant neon marquee. The basement screening rooms were closed in 2013, reportedly due to a change in movie viewing habits and the high expense associated with converting 35 mm film projection to DCP compliant digital projection. The theater is currently undergoing a modernization project that includes conversion of the basement screening rooms into an on-site full service restaurant (Empress Tavern), installation of high speed internet for the ticketing system, structural upgrades to support concert sound and lighting systems, installation of DCP compliant digital movie projection, and replacement of the 65-year old HVAC system. The theater retains its ability to showcase 35 mm film, and remains operational during this on-going project, hosting community events, concerts, and exhibiting foreign and independent films.

The Wells Fargo Pavilion is a theatre venue, located in Sacramento, California, and owned by California Musical Theatre and the Sacramento Theatre Company.OverviewThe signature feature of the H Street Theatre Project which renovated almost the entire block. The stage is a Theatre in the round and has a 32ft diameter. The theatre seats up to 2,200 guests with a total of 53000sqft. The pavilion is home for the Sacramento Music circus, a Summer stock theatre.HistoryThe site is built on top of the original concrete foundations from the Music Circus tent. Music Circus was a theatre form begun in Lambertville, N.J., by St. John Terrell in 1949. Established as summer stock, the new theatre venues primarily housed light operas and operettas, produced in the round, under a circus-style big top. In 2002, Terrell's open air music circus model ceased to exist as Sacramento Music Circus. It lowered its canvas tent for the last time, returning the following year in this state of the art complex which offers new Technology improvements such as an expanded lighting grid and a variable-level turntable stage. The original architect is R.F. McCann & Co.Construction for the new pavilion began in the early 2000s and opened to the public in the Summer of 2003. The structure consists of hard sided walls with a soft covering, copying its silhouette from the old circus tent. The tent is a permanent structure covered with Teflon-coated fiberglass fabric without tent poles that had previously obstructed the views of the stage.

It later became the Hippodrome. On September 14, 1946 the Hippodrome's marquee suddenly fell to the pavement below, killing a bystander, Mrs. Jessie Shirley Potter, 41, of Alta, who was crushed beneath the marquee. Joseph Brady, 40, was struck a glancing blow and sustained a skull fracture, broken collarbone, permanent brain injury and loss of hearing in one ear. Damages of $176,334.50 were sought by Potter's family and by Brady in superior court.Shortly after the tragedy, in 1949, the building was completely remodeled and revamped to its current form as the Crest Theatre. During the 1950s and 1960s, it was one of the premier first-run movie palaces in the Sacramento area. As the decade turned to the 1970s, it was reduced to mostly sub-run fare. In the early 1980s, the Crest closed down for a time while several attempts were made to revive the theatre in many forms, including a dinner theatre. Finally, by the end of 1995, the Crest was completely refurbished and today its main auditorium (which has been left in its post-1946 unaltered state) is a multi-purpose theatre showing classic revival and specialty films, occasional live shows and lectures. Two additional cinemas were built adjacent to the original site around the time of the remodeling.The Trash Film OrgyThe Trash Film Orgy is an annual event extending through six weeks in the summer, with occasional Halloween and Christmas shows. It features cult cinema, live stage shows, live bands, local films, carnival-type games, a lounge (hosted by retrocrush.com), and audience participation. Live guests are occasionally featured and have included filmmaker Ray Dennis Steckler, actor Sid Haig and others.
