Merced Theatre

I have so many childhood memories here, so this place gives me a deep sense of nostalgia. I came here most recently for Cinderella from the World Ballet Series (Nov '23) and it was a great experience! This is the best stage in Merced and I absolutely love the castle-like designs in the auditorium. The ushers and concession folks are very helpful. Prices are also pretty fair for consumables ($7 for a jumbo popcorn, $4 for soda/water/candy, $7 for beer/wine). Come enjoy a show!

Very nice Theatre! There is lots of room, clean, and the sound is great in the theatre.

Located in the old downtown section of Merced on Main street (used to be known as 17th street back in the day) I love this kind of theatre, they don't build theatres with the character a place like this has anymore. The place looks like a Spanish mission court yard inside. They did a wonderful job restoring this historic theater a few years ago. The acoustics are better than many new theatres I've been in. The seating has ample leg room and is very comfortable. The staff I encountered were friendly and efficient. All this adds up to a great venue for live music, or any performing arts for that matter. I will definitely be watching thier schedule, and I will be back.The only slight drawback is the somewhat limited parking. There is a small shared parking lot behind the theater, and street parking available. You just have to cruise the parking lot and drive around the block until you find a spot open up.

Fantastic venue attracting some great entertainment. The renovation completed just a few years ago is incredible, with every comfortable seat providing a great view. Just watched Aaron Lewis perform last night to a sold out audience. Event Manager Shirin was immensely helpful. Earlier this year I saw the Oak Ridge Boys play here, and a few years back saw Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Looking forward to seeing the Charlie Daniels Band this December.

Newly restored to minty freshness with the appropriate nods to yesteryear left intact. This is now a world class state of the art venue for live music, performing arts and cinema special engagements. Check their event calendar for upcoming live music, theatre and limited "special event" cinema events.
