January 31, 2012 - State of the Art!

The Theatre now has the most modern projection system, lighting system, and sound system -- as you would expect.

But you may not expect that we are installing a ticketing system that is used by many, many major venues. When our new ShoWare system is up, patrons will be able to:

Visit our web site to see all scheduled events and performances.
See what seats are available in all sections of the theatre.
Select individual or multiple seats
Buy your selection online using any major credit card
Print your tickets at home, or pick them up at the box office, or even have them mailed your way.
Handicapped ? The same things apply for our handicapped patrons. We have both wheelchair spots and ADA compliant seats.

Hang on folks, it's starting to get very exciting. Indeed.

December 22, 2011 - Carpet is installed. House lighting is up and running. Stage lighting is in the house.

A walk-through on December 22nd noted that there were around 150 spotlights (or more) on the stage waiting to be installed. There were speakers installed everywhere I looked in the auditorium. The sound and lighting are both going to be fantastic!

Over 1100 seats have arrived and are installed. Check on Facebook - search for Merced Theatre.

Seating Chart

The Merced Theatre offers premium seating with a gently sloping floor allowing every patron a great view of the stage. You can see the seat locations below on our chart, and you can select your seats using our online ticketing system rather than the traditional online service which has a robot randomly select them for you. Should you prefer a random selection, our system also offers that option.

History of Merced

Merced is a city in, and the county seat of, Merced County, California in the San Joaquin Valley of Northern California.

As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 78,958. Incorporated in 1889, Merced is a charter city that operates under a council-manager government. It is named after the Merced River, which flows nearby.

Merced, known as the "Gateway to Yosemite", is less than two hours by automobile from Yosemite National Park to the east and Monterey Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and several beaches to the west.

The community is served by the rail passenger service Amtrak, a major airline through Merced Regional Airport, and three bus lines.

It is approximately 110 miles (180 km) from Sacramento, 130 miles (210 km) from San Francisco, and 270 miles (430 km) from Los Angeles.

In 2005, the city became home to the tenth University of California campus, University of California, Merced (UCM), the first research university built in the U.S. in the 21st century.
