The Historic Spreckels Theatre is proud to participate in the campaign happening across the country Tuesday, September 1 in support of the live events industry and the RESTART Act. In solidarity with our fellow venues and millions of currently unemployed events workers, we will light up our venue RED tonight.

This is much larger than one venue or one industry: for every $1 spent on a ticket at a small music venue, $12 are spent in the local economy. We need Congress’ support on the RESTART Act to save not only the live events, but the domino effect it has on our shared community and economy.

Join us and shine your own red light tomorrow night, or filter your photos red with the tag . Learn more on how to participate at ​wemakeevents.org/​ and fill out the form to alert your local representatives. Don’t let events go dark!

Music venues in Northern California have joined forces for a nationwide movement to bathe their facilities in red light Tuesday night to encourage congress to pass the Restart Act.

Happy 108th Birthday to the Spreckels Theatre in San Diego, opened on this day in 1912!

The theatre was commissioned by sugar magnate John D. Spreckels to commemorate the opening of the Panama Canal and the upcoming Pan American Exposition held in San Diego in 1915, and accordingly was fitted-out with exactly 1,915 seats.

The proscenium sounding board is a huge mural painted in delicate hues, depicting two angels sprinkling riches from a cornucopia and the sea god Neptune, bringing prosperity to San Diego. The mural was painted by Los Angeles-based artist Emil T. Mazy

Extensive use of “the new electric light” was made in the auditorium. The fronts of both balconies, the front faces of the opera boxes, and accent lines in the ceiling were all decorated with bare incandescent light bulbs, similar in style but smaller in scale to the exposed lighting employed by architects Adler & Sullivan at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago.
