The Crest Theater is a historic entertainment venue located at 1013 K Street in the heart of downtown Sacramento, California, just blocks from the State Capitol and the Sacramento Convention Center. Originally opened in 1912 as the Empress Theatre — a vaudeville palace — the building was completely reimagined following a major renovation in 1949 and emerged as the Crest Theatre in its current form. A further refurbishment in 1995 restored the venue's ornate gold-leaf art deco interior to its mid-century splendor. Today, The Crest Theater hosts a broad range of events in its main auditorium, including classic and specialty film screenings, live concerts, comedy performances, lectures, and community festivals. With seating for up to 975 guests and a full stage, professional sound system, and professional lighting, the venue accommodates productions of genuine scale.
