At Great Star Theater

Chinatown, San Francisco

🏛️San Francisco's first Chinese-owned theater, built 1925
🎭410 seats means every view is close, but legroom is tight
🍿Pre-popped popcorn is famously salty — you've been warned

Four films, seven climbing legends, and one unforgettable night at a 1925 Chinatown gem. Watch Brooke Raboutou, Sean Bailey, and crew make history on the big screen in this intimate 410-seat theater.
