Very beautiful theatre. The sound was great. Comfortable seats.

Cute little spot in downtown Antioch. My daughter had her winter recital performance here. Nice stage we had a good time.

I used to act here! Really great people and comfy seating. Can easily hear the people on stage

Absolutely beautiful theater! 🎭

Great old theater. Saw the Nutcracker here with friends and enjoyed the performance and vibe of the theater.

Beautiful venue with great shows!

Nostalgia time at a nd around this vintage theater on the shores of the Delta in Antioch CA... Today James Clark was Elvis in tribute... check out the other unspoiled surroundings, picnic on the water, etc... Check out the the old Riverfront bar and restaurant just a few hundred feet away

A wonderful art deco theater still original!

The best staff ever

Great place to see a show.

Celebrating class #59, Opportunity Junction, September 20, 2019

Great little place so original

I love this old theater in Antioch right on the water!! I couldnt give it 5 stars because of the parking!

Came here for our nieces show! Did not have tickets but the staff were very sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. Very impressed with how they handled all of the people and the fast reaction to a sold out show. We were able to sit together and even though we sat in fold out chairs we had a great time.

I went here for a musical performance, but this review is about the theater specifically. First, the people who work there are wonderful. The Manager is amazing, the staff attentive, the bathroom facilities clean and wonderful. However, the actual seats in the theater are....small. very narrow, a s very low to the ground, which dramatically affected my ability to enjoy the show. Im not exaggwrating when I say the seats are literally the size of cheap airplane seats. If youre a fellow fat-bottom girl, this theater will not make your world go round. I am also a shorty (55) and my knees were hitting the back of the seat in front of me. I dont know if this theater was built in the days when the average person was of smaller vertical and horizontal stature, but be warned. Wear very comfortable clothes (just like a plane) and be prepared to walk the aisles and have others walk the aisle (just like a plane).

Great parking and accessibility

First time visiting this theatre. The seats were great and there was plenty of leg room. We went and saw the Top Shelf Classics and had so much fun! I would recommend this theatre to everyone. After seeing what they have scheduled for upcoming events they definitely cater to all tastes.

Everything was great!

Best of its kind. Restored 1928 vaudeville theatre featuring live performances, childrens theatre, senior theatre and monthly foreign film series.

Interesting little theatre... nice venue for music.

Amazing and beautiful

Historic Theatre is a lovely little gem in Antioch. Seating in the Orchestra seats is comfortable and accessible. However there are no elevators and seating in the Loge and Balcony seats is cramped and tight at best. Anyone over 55 will have to sit sideways as there is no room for longer legs and their knees will be knocking the person in front of them in the back of the head.

Love the El Campanil theater. Intimate, restored historic theater. Seating is very comfortable, with good legroom. Books a large variety of acts, bands, and international movies. Plenty of nearby free parking.

Great theater. Classic film, West Side Story. Very enjoyable to see this 1961 movie up on the big screen.

Always a great time...fantastic events in an awesome, fully restored theater. Highly recommend for the whole family!

Just like it was, classic setting.

Beautiful theatre. All seats are great...easy parking. Ill be back soon!

Beautifully restored theatre with comfortable seating. Sat in the middle of the 4th row last night and had excellent sight lines to the stage. Been to several productions and I am never disappointed. A true gem!

With covid-19 nothing much to do just a nice walk with a friend

Great community theater! My daughter performed her ballet recital here when she was younger and she recently had a field trip here where they watched a play. The class loved it and it was so nice for them to experience something like that right here in their hometown.

What a wonderful place to have a show. I saw a Johnny Cash tribute by James Garner and it was great.

Love the theatre, the show itself was hooohumm! Sorry.Built in the 1930s according to the staff, it still has its heater plates in the floor. Of course their no longer in use because they spewed carbon monoxide to theater guests back in the day. Very interesting?The seats were comfortable and staff friendly. They only sold water during intermission but that was okay.

Restored theater with a nice lineup of entertainment. most recently, a great Motown group.

Like a old fashion movie theater and would be great for plays. Also seats are large and comfortable

What a great asset for eastern Contra Costa county. This theater, built in 1928, has been so lovingly restored and as a result, is a great place to see a show, whether live music or a film.I was there once to see a Steely Dan cover band and just before the intermission the drummer was doing his drum solo. There was a little old lady in front of us, and two minutes into the solo, she rose from her seat.I figured she was on her way out but instead she raised her hands above her head and started clapping along. It was then that I decided I needed to know her story.So, she was raised in Antioch and as a little girl would attend shows right here. She explained that whenever a big act came from the East coast to tour the West coast they would hit Seattle, San Francisco, Antioch and Los Angeles. The entertainers would take the ferry from SF up to Antioch and here we are 90 years later enjoying this beautiful landmark.

Just arrived home from seeing The Diamonds Concert. Once they started singing the fun began. Such energy and wonderful performances. I am looking forward to them returning. This will be a must see for me. I loved all the music and wow...that tenor can really hit those high notes..especially when he pulls his trousers up!!A big thank you to Rick for suggesting what I consider the best seats in the house!! (And I will keep the numbers a secret)!

Very clean theater, with lots of great performances! Comfy seats, spacious room, and great viewing from every seat. Definitely recommend visiting this theater when a performance comes that piques your interest. Wont find anything like this nearby.

It was the most fabulous show! Cant wait for the next one!

Makes you feel like you are in an old actress/actor theater! Perfect staging and lighting as well.

Beautiful Olde Time Theater. Great art work inside.

Nice venue for small graduating class of Registered Nurses. Proud day.The ushers were not very friendly but we didnt let that ruin our day.

Beautiful restored old theater. Shows vary, but the tickets are cheaper than you would think for such a gorgeous spot.Most of the shows Ive seen were delightful.

Very nice theater! It has been restored to what it was like when it was new. The seats are much more comfortable than they used to be. Great theater for a movie or any other live art.

Nice old theater, was renovated not that long ago. Chairs are fairly comfy and it is easy to get in and out of.

I went to this theatre several times as a little girl in the 80s when it was primarily a movie theater. We only had the Stamm, Metro 4 and this one, but this one was the crown jewel of the three. I remember the bathroom having more pastel colors and wall art frescoes of cherubs, etc. but the restoration has brought it back to all its original glory! Love the seats, no heads that I have to look over and performances never disappoint!

One of the most beautiful venues in Antioch! As a attendee and performer, this is one of my favorite places in Antioch. Great seating and great acoustics.

Since this was my first time stepping inside this facility, I did not know what to expect; perhaps, a hole in the wall. Was I surprised?!! This is a hidden treasure right in downtown Antioch!!!! I was extremely and pleasantly surprised at the elegance of the interior. The exterior appearance does not convey the opulence and the supreme artistic craftmanship spread all over the interior walls and ceiling. Additionally, the cavenous seating area does not give any hint of its presence when looking at the theaters antique street view. I loved it. It was very clean and there was ample sitting, good view from all corners and all the staff members were very professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. And the show was great!!

I went to a tribute concert there. The seat were comfortable. The venue was clean and well organized for the event.

Dont expect the latest Dolby THX surround sound but this Theatre is a beautiful place to watch live performances. Their seats are comfortable, clean, and their acoustics are nice. At night time when the exterior lights up, its beautiful...

Great acoustics. Designed before amplifiers and microphones existed. Great backstage artists signatures through the decades

A historical gem!!!

Went to see Hallelujah Girls. It was a great play and the El Campanil is a great venue. Been there several times and it is always wonderful.

My friend and I had a fabulous time tonight, with the Lennon tribute. The performer sounded just like John Lennon. Great music....

Decades are the best, so much talent, by all of them!

Im falling in love with this beautiful Theater. So many great shows and performances.

Always clean and tidy. Simple design for access to restrooms and seating. Interior is classy.

The theatre is very comfortable, big seats and wide aisles. The only problem is too few loos. The line for the ladies room is always long, plan accordingly.

Great acoustics. Wonderful architecture. Good line up of entertainers.

It was wonderful a lot room for legs and a beautiful theater very well organized the music was great and singer wonderful songs beautiful great entertainer

I walked by there. Its been closed because of the pandemic.

Great show 1/12/19 Mitch Polzak and the Royal Deuces, acoustics and the sound was wonderful.

Classic old theater. Very nostalgic. Love this place. Such a diverse selection of shows to see.

Very nice theater. Attended the Delta Strummers Ukulele band on June 2nd

Surprisingly large theatre. Well maintained, & comfortable. Offsite free parking is available just around the corner.

Nice decor. Good seating everywhere. Nice size dressing room

Live this old theater they kept all the integrity and style from the old days

Had a great time watching sun Kings Beatles tribute band

I saw a cover band for Pink Floyd there and it was awesome. But I will always miss the original old movie theater. Apparently, even before movies, it was a popular vaudeville stage to see plays and such.

Wow!! I remember tapping and balleting all over that stage, wonderful memories!! Its an amazing place to enjoy the arts and community!!

Love this theatre. Rick the owner is amazing and the Childrens theater run by Sharon Redman is the best!!! It is beautiful inside!!!

This theater is so beautiful. I wish they had more events here!

I graduated here. It is an amazing place.

Went to see a performance, love the seats, like the old school environment inside, will definitely consider renting this location for any events!!!

Classy small town theater with excellent entertainment. Socially productive.

This is a beautifully restored old movie theater. Seats are comfortable.

Beautiful historic theater in downtown Antioch. Features live performances

This Theater is a little treasure in Antioch. Only thing lacking is an elevator for those who are unable to negotiate stairs.

Saw a local production of the nutcracker. Nice performance .

Broadway Repertory Theate The Secret Garden was FABULOUS! ALLSTAR CAST!
