Jon Sims Center for the Performing Arts

JSCPA was the "official" home to many groups, including the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Marching Band (seated concert band), the San Francisco Tap Troupe, City Swing with Gail Wilson, the Barbary Coast Cloggers and the original home of the Pacific Ballet headed by Kaz Zmuda.

The Jon Sims Center opened in 1985, a year after the death of Jon Reed Sims, the founder of the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Marching Band and Twirling Corps (now the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band).

[1] Sims later founded the San Francisco Tap Troupe with his close friend Rosie Radiator.

Longer-term problems included the lack of a stable, long-term board and executive director, despite determined efforts to keep the institution alive.
