New Theater for Los Altos

NEW THEATER FOR LOS ALTOS
The Los Altos City Council authorized the formation of a volunteer group in April 2021, to assess the feasibility of a new downtown theater. The group has 16 members and has raised funds to cover the costs of a feasibility study to determine the best options for a new theater.

LOCATION ON DOWNTOWN PARKING PLAZA
The Theater Working Group supports the 2017 Downtown Vision adopted by the 2018 Council which identifies a modest-size theater as the best “driver” of improved downtown vitality. The Downtown Vision states that a theater is “phase one” of a larger plan to develop the entire plaza between 2nd and 3rd Streets into a “cultural hub” with a pedestrian walkway, outdoor community area, parking structure and a hotel or housing.

FEASIBILITY STUDIES
Over the past two years, Los Altos Stage Company, in partnership AMS Research and Planning and BuildingBlox Consulting, has conducted two intensive studies to assess the feasibility of building a new theater building in downtown Los Altos.  The first analyzed the potential scope, operational structure and cost for a new theater. The second analyzed the potential and probability for funding the construction of the building:. Summaries of these two studies can be found in the links below.
