Free parking is only 1 block away!
At present the Second Street garages are consistently overcrowded. We recommend parking for free in the Third Street Garage. If you're coming down Santa Clara Street from Highway 87, just make a left on Third Street, and you'll see the entrance to the garage immediately on your left. From there, it's a short walk over to our performance space at 52 S. First St., and you can enter from the back entrance on Second Street, across the street from The Improv.
Otherwise, there are three public parking lots near the theatre that offer free parking after 6:00pm on weekdays and free parking all weekend long. Free parking is located between 1st and 3rd Street on San Fernando. If those lots are full, try the Pavilion Parking Structure on 2nd Street just past San Fernando.
If you feel like shelling out a few dollars, there is a parking lot behind Bella Mia restaurant that is $5.00 after 6:00pm everyday.
