""Acquiring the Curran expands our commitment to San Francisco and reinforces our core belief that sports, arts and culture are essential to San Francisco's identity, economy and resurgence," says Larry Baer, president and CEO of the Giants. "We intend to honor the Curran's storied past steeped in Broadway shows and musicals and continue to build and expand the offerings of live performances reflective of our city's culture, inclusive of music, comedy and family entertainment.""
"The Curran will continue to be operated by BroadwaySF, San Francisco's biggest theater presenter that also puts on shows at the Orpheum and Golden Gate theaters. All current programming will continue as scheduled. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The move further paves the way for the Giants - who have long welcomed major concerts into its picturesque ballpark - to be involved with more kinds of entertainment offerings."
