SING-A-LONG
Sing-a-Long movies at the Castro Theatre give you an alternative way to enjoy campy old musicals.

And the crowd participates to varying degrees, with some in full costume and others just along for the ride. Read more...






The Castro Theatre is truly an acre of seats in a palace of dreams!
