About

Bankhead Theater is the 500 seat performing arts theater that is the centerpiece of the "Golden Triangle" in Livermore.
Construction began in February 2006 and was completed in September 2007.
The theater held a two week opening gala beginning September 29, 2007, which was headlined by a concert by Bernadette Peters on Saturday, October 6th.

The box office (the 3 windows on the right side of the photo) is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00pm to 6:00pm.

Many local performing organizations have moved their performances to the Bankhead theater, from a variety of local venues.

The theater is operated by the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center.

The Theater is located at 2400 First Street in Livermore between Livermore Ave and Maple St. It backs up to Railroad Ave. Free Parking is available in the City Parking Garage across the street on Railroad Ave.
	From 580 take the Livermore Ave Exit and head south. Turn left on Railroad Ave. The theater is on the right (the tall red brick building from that angle), and the parking garage is on the left.
	From 680 from the south, take highway 84 into Livermore, past Vineyard Ave. and Concannon Blvd to Stanley Blvd. Turn right on Stanley, which later becomes Railroad Ave. Just after crossing Livermore Ave is the theater on the right and the parking garage on the left.

About this site

This is NOT the official site of the theater. This page is part of eLivermore.com, and is meant to provide information about the theater. I have taken photos of the theaters throughout construction. Over 300 photos are posted here, beginning with historical photos of the area and the buildings that were removed to make room for the theaters and other buildings. The photos continue through the theater opening and performances.

These photos have been made available to the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center (LVPAC) and have been used by them on various material including the front cover of the first two programs. All performance photos have been taken with the kind permission and cooperation of LVPAC.
