Theater news out of San Francisco this week regarding branding of one of the city’s most prominent theater houses.
SHN has announced a name change. Going forward the company, known for bringing Broadway touring musicals to San Francisco, will be known as BroadwaySF.
Per the news release:
“The new name projects a clear and simple promise to live theater lovers around the Bay Area – BroadwaySF will continue to bring Broadway blockbusters and one-of-a-kind theatrical experiences to the Orpheum and Golden Gate Theatres in San Francisco.”
Robert Nederlander of the Nederlander theater legacy remains co-owner. Greg Holland, formerly of Clear Channel Enetertainment, is CEO.
The dramatic and bold new logo looks like this:
In addition to the new BroadwaySF branding — which makes a lot of sense given the team’s mission — the web site has also been updated and can be seen here: broadwaysf.com.
Meantime, since Broadway shows is what this is all about, here’s the 2019-2020 BroadwaySF lineup of productions.
