BigNose Productions presents their first work, Theresa Rebeck's biting comedy SEMINAR. Filled with scathing one-liners and backstabbing twists, SEMINAR examines gender politics, artistic merit, and modern urban sociology through a self-aware, comic lens. Ultimately, I am quite excited to see a new theatre company emerge with such a striking first impression.

2016 is officially ending, and while much of the year was filled with major upsets (RIP David Bowie, Carrie Fisher, Prince, Muhammad Ali, Carrie, Alan Rickman, and many others) and some seriously stressful moments (2016 presidential election, I'm looking at you!), the year had bright moments too! Thus, I run through a few of my favorite moments of 2016.

We surely needed theatre as a tonic for the horrors that defined 2016; here are the best of the best shows in the Bay Area.

During 2016 the world lost many legends, entertainers, newsmakers and political figures who changed lives, industries and the course of history.

The internationally acclaimed drama based on the writings of a 23 year old activist, My Name Is Rachel Corrie, will be presented at San Francisco's Magic Theatre from April 27 to May 14, 2017.
