Formerly known as the Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts.
Home of the Hofmann, Margaret Lesher, and Knight Foundation Stage 3 stages. Hosts Center REP, the Diablo Regional Arts Association, and shares space with the Bedford Gallery (bedfordgallery.org/default.shtml, (925) 295-1417) downstairs.

They're sometimes referred to as the best avenue for theatre this side of the Caldecott Tunnel. They also rent out space, offer classes, and have a giant shiny marquee. Good building to anchor yourself by if you're wandering around downtown, since it's pretty visible.
