Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center
The arts organization behind downtown Livermore's Bankhead Theater and the Bothwell Arts Center.
Acerca de
Theatergoers heading down First Street in downtown Livermore end up at the Bankhead Theater, and the organization behind it is the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, which now presents itself to the public as Livermore Valley Arts. Its administrative office shares the theater's address, 2400 First Street, and answers on 925-373-6100, the number in this listing. A second venue, the Bothwell Arts Center, is elsewhere downtown at 2466 Eighth Street.
Two venues and a program of events
On its own website the organization describes performances at the Bankhead, ticket sales through its box office, and visual arts and education programs, with the Bothwell as its second home. The staff directory lists directors for operations, marketing and finance and a manager for visual arts and education, which gives a sense of its shape: a presenting organization with a season and a staff, rather than an act you hire for a party. Chris Carter is listed as executive director.
Planning a night at the Bankhead
The box office line is 925-373-6800, staffed Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. Those are ticket-sales hours; curtain times depend on the show. Wheelchair seating should be booked ahead by phone with the box office. Inside, an elevator at the west end of the main lobby reaches the upper level, accessible restrooms are on both lobby floors, and assistive listening devices can be borrowed at no charge from the House Manager's Office. Parking is free in the Livermore Valley Center lot a block from the theater and on surrounding streets, with reserved accessible spaces on the lower level of that garage and a drop-off point on Railroad Avenue.
An audience from across the Tri-Valley
Livermore anchors the eastern end of Alameda County. The theater draws from Pleasanton and Dublin along Interstate 580, from Sunol by way of Highway 84, and from Castro Valley, Hayward, Fremont and San Leandro on the other side of the hills. For school groups, large parties or accessible seating, phone the box office well before the date rather than arriving at the door.
Administrative office: 925-373-6100. Box office: 925-373-6800.
