Former location –
The Circle Star Theatre was a performing arts venue in San Carlos California. Its name was based on the fact that it was a theater in the round, featuring a rotating circular stage with none of its 3,743 seats further than 50 feet from the stage.
The building was sold to a local car dealer and it was closed in December 1993. What was left of the building caught fire on April 18, 1997, damaging much of the backstage area. The theater was demolished to make way for the Circle Star Center, which is now an Extended Stay America hotel.
