The Castro Theatre has seen plenty of drama in its 100 years, but usually, the passions are contained to the screen and stage. At a community meeting hosted Thursday at the theater by the venue’s new management, Berkeley concert promoters Another Planet Entertainment, emotions ran high. Coming off the heels of its 14th annual Outside Lands festival last weekend, the company presented its renovation designs to hundreds of attendees during the 21⁄2-hour meeting. When the rendering for Another Planet’s proposed removal of orchestra seating and flattening of the theater floor was first presented on the theater screen, a cacophony of boos — amid scattered applause — echoed through the auditorium, as many waved “Save the Seats” signs and displayed shirts spelling out the demand. The scene reflected the growing opposition to the company’s plans to turn the San Francisco landmark, long considered one of the most significant film and LGBTQ spaces in the Bay Area, into a live event space similar to Another Planet’s other venues, including the Fox Theater in Oakland and Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
