Review: IMPROBABLE FICTION at Masquers Playhouse


by Kelly Rogers Flynt - February 11, 2026

IMPROBABLE FICTION at Masquers Playhouse is a tale of two parts. Don’t let the easy-going first half lull you into complacency. When the action hits, it comes in quick succession with quippy lines, funny costumes, over the top dramatics, and plenty of belly laughs....

Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD at Marin Theatre


by Steve Murray - February 04, 2026

Change is hard, we all know that. We get stuck in patterns and the comfortable, even if that inertia is destructive. Watching Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard, brilliantly directed by American Conservatory Theatre Artistic Director emerita Carey Perloff and starring an all-star cast of local legends, will m...

by Jim Munson - January 26, 2026

San Francisco Ballet is kicking off its 2026 repertory season with the massively ambitious world premiere of Yuri Possokhov’s Eugene Onegin.

Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at Orpheum Theatre


by Steve Murray - January 16, 2026

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are on a high recently, with their long- running animated series South Park skewering the present administration in their inimitable profane and darkly surreal style. 2011’s The Book of Mormon brought their irreverent humor to Broadway in what at the time seemed shocking, ...
