City Lights Theater Company is conveniently located at 529 South Second Street, San Jose, between William Street and Reed Streets. We are across the street from Notre Dame High School and next door to Emile's French Restaurant.
Parking: City Lights offers our patrons exclusive use of a secured parking lot directly across the street from the theatre, courtesy of our neighbors at Notre Dame High School, for $5 for the evening. This lot is available to City Lights patrons starting at 45 minutes before show time, is locked during the performance, and is unlocked for 15 minutes after the performance ends. Please note that if you park in this lot, and plan to visit another establishment after the show, you must move your car. Please do not park in the lot adjacent to us, which is for the use of Emile's Restaurant patrons only.
Street parking (free after 6pm and on weekends) and City-operated lots are also available.
