Through renovations, restorations, and origins dating more than a century, the Guild Theater has been a pillar of Oak Park, creating connections and memories across greater Sacramento.
Built in 1915, the theater was originally one of several movie houses that served Oak Park. After it sat vacant for many years, St. HOPE acquired the building in 2003 and brought new life and purpose to the space.
“At the time, it was completely dilapidated. It was boarded up for a number of years,” says Adrianne Hall, chief operating officer of St. HOPE. “When we came in, there were two feet of water down in the front, and everything was pretty much in disrepair.”
