This weekend we host the inaugural Love The Captive concerts at a treasure of a venue: Frank’s Place. Both shows—Radar Bros. on Friday and Head Like A Kite on Saturday—feature top touring talent paired with some of the finest Fresno bands out there. This is what it’s all about, guys.
Let me tell you about Frank’s Place.
The “Frank” in Frank’s Place is one Frank Caglia. Frank was a self-made business man, active in various community organizations around Fresno. When the famous “Fresno” arch on South Van Ness fell into disrepair, he took it upon himself to fix it up. In fact, he was the one who added “The Best Little City in the USA” tagline.
He also loved theaters. Specifically, the Warnors Theatre. So much so that he bought it in 1973. Frank and his family owned the Warnors Center for the Performing Arts until his death in 2007. Frank’s Place, the newest addition to the complex, is named in his honor.
The Details
Frank’s Place is located at 1432 Fulton Street, Fresno, CA. That is right next to Warnors Theatre, directly across Fulton Street from the K-Jewel/KYNO building.
The front door on Fulton Street looks like this (we will have lights and signage to guide your way):
From the Tower District, just take Fulton towards Downtown all the way almost to Tuolumne Street (if you’re driving on the Fulton Mall, you’ve gone too far).
Parking. Plenty of parking is available directly across the street in the lot next to the K-Jewel/KYNO building. There is additional parking behind that lot in the Broadway Studios lot. Street parking is also available (no need to feed the meters; they aren’t enforced after 6pm). There will be a security guard in the parking lots as well.
Times. Doors for these shows, as with all our Frank’s Place shows (unless otherwise noted), will be at 8pm.
Ages. Unless otherwise noted, shows at Frank’s Place are All Ages. Full bar (21+) will be available at some shows (not all).
All of us at Love The Captive have already fallen in love with this place, and we think you will too. These opening weekend shows are just 6 bucks each, pre-sale (buy online or at The Laundry Room). This is a great chance to come check out what could be—with your help—Fresno’s next really great thing.
Join us, won’t you?

This IS great stuff! I love what you wrote, “If you’re driving on the Fulton Mall, you’ve gone too far”. That gave me a smile for my day! So glad “Love The Captive” loves “Frank and His place”.
