Eleni Kounalakis Theatre at Grand Theatre Center for the Arts is a historic theatre that combines the character of a classic performance hall with the infrastructure of a modern performing arts venue. Originally opened in 1923 for vaudeville and motion pictures, the theatre later acquired distinctive Art Deco elements and was subsequently restored and adapted for contemporary productions. The main auditorium provides 547 reserved seats and accommodates concerts, plays, musicals, dance performances, comedy, film screenings and other events.
Inside, the historic character of the auditorium is complemented by modern stage technology. The theatre includes an orchestra pit, computerized stage equipment, professional lighting, a digital sound system and projection facilities, allowing the space to accommodate a wide variety of productions. Concessions with snacks and beverages are available during most events, while the theatre's scale creates a more direct connection between the stage and audience than a large arena setting.
The theatre is located at 715 N Central Ave, Tracy, United States. Free parking is available on nearby streets and in public parking lots around 6th Street and Central Avenue, while a passenger loading zone on Central Avenue provides convenient drop-off and pick-up close to the venue entrance.
