Spreckels Theatre (San Diego)

The Spreckels Theatre is located on Broadway in the heart of downtown San Diego. It is owned and operated by Jacquelyn Littlefield, who has been at the helm from the time it was a first run motion picture house.

Ms. Littlefield was responsible for it's original renovation and the return to a live theatre format in 1976 when she traveled to New York to forge a presentation agreement with the legendary theatrical producer and theatre Impresario James "Jimmy" Nederlander bringing tours of Broadway shows to San Diego for the first time. The memorable first season included Equus starring Brian Bedford; A Matter of Gravity starring Katherine Hepburn; Julie Harris in her award winning performance in the Belle Of Armhurst. Since that time innumerable live events have been presented for the people of San Diego, and the many visitors from across America, and the world.

In 2004, Ms. Littlefield closed the doors of the Spreckels in order to renovate the theatre. Improvements were made from the box office to the back-stage dressing rooms. Ms. Littlefield acted as interior decorator, implementing a sweeping renovation of the entire interior space. The theater reopened the doors in July of that year to continue with it's presentation of shows.

All who are part of the theatre are proud of their association with this beautiful architectural masterpiece! Since it's inception in 1912 it has been considered one of the finest theatres in the country. A rare combination of old world charm and modern convenience, it retains grace, comfort, and location that can't be beat!

The Spreckels is situated in the most vital district of downtown San Diego. It is directly adjacent to Horton Plaza's world renowned shopping, and it is convenient to the Gaslamp District, train station, trolley, Lindbergh International Airport, The Convention Center, and Baseball Park. San Diego is the sixth largest city in the US, and tourism is her biggest industry for both vacationers and conventions.
