Originally built back in the 1900's, the Jose Theatre is another San Jose theater that was rescued from possible demolition. This theater was damaged by the earthquake that hit the area in the late 1980's. The San Jose City Council put aside money and the neon glow to the left is the fruits of their persistence and efforts. The Improv is the current tenant at the site.
