About Crest Theatre - Sacramento

Crest Theatre - Sacramento is a historic theater at 1013 K Street in downtown Sacramento, California. It opened on October 6, 1949, on the site of the earlier Empress/Hippodrome theater, which dated to the early 20th century. The theater underwent a grand restoration and reopened on November 18, 1986, preserving much of the character that makes it one of Sacramento’s cherished downtown landmarks. It is privately owned and operated, with an approximate capacity of 900 in the main auditorium.

The Crest is known for its Art Deco architecture, vintage movie-palace feel, ornate interior details, and restored neon marquee. Its programming includes classic and cult film screenings, repertory showings such as The Shining, live concerts across genres, comedy shows, film festivals, special live events, and private functions. The setting is intimate and personable, with traditional high-backed theater seats, a curved stage, and strong sightlines throughout the room.

The main auditorium remains the centerpiece of the venue, while two small basement auditoriums that were used for a time as additional screens closed in March 2013. Today, Crest Theatre - Sacramento is best known for bringing film, music, comedy, and community events into a restored Art Deco theater on Sacramento’s K Street corridor.

Getting Ready for Your Crest Theatre - Sacramento Event

• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
