The theater district in San Francisco is a lot like the city
itself - it offers plenty of variety within a small area. There
are lots of theaters compactly located within walking
distance of Union Square, an area known for its upscale stores
and fancy hotels. In fact, most of the theaters can be found on
just one block of Geary Street, west of Union Square.
