Hammer Theater Information

The Hammer Theater is located on S. 3rd Street in San Jose, between San Carlos and E. San Fernando.

If you drive NW on S. 3rd (one-way street), just past the theater building is a small open-air parking lot. Get there early to get a spot. You will need your license plate number to use the pay station.

Band entrance: there is a double-door with a call box between the loading bay door and the main entrance. Press the call button and say you are with the band, and they will buzz you in.

You will enter a short hallway which ends at a windowed office. To the left and downstairs are the green room and other areas for leaving instrument cases. To the right are the stage door, the backstage area, and the loading dock. Large instrument cases (tuba, string bass) may be stored in the loading area or in the wings on the far side of the stage.
