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

Last week Hell’s Kitchen, located at the Shubert Theatre, announced that they would close on February 22. Aside from the unfortunate news that is for all who work on the show, it stands to wonder what might take that theatre in the next couple of months, and could that happen before the Tony Awards deadline? Furthermore, why is the Shubert Theatre in particular considered so desirable? 

Hundreds of actors, thirty companies, 90 seconds to make an impression. Here is my experience at the A1’s summer stock conference this past weekend.

Part bar, part group hang, and part chaotic theatrical experience, The Renaissance Theatre Company’s production of MEAN GIRLS blurs the lines between a traditional show and an immersive club experience. While the scrappy staging and mid-show cocktail deliveries lean heavily into the troupe’s immersive club roots, the production is anchored by an exceptionally talented cast and a live band that keep the energy electric. It’s a messy, defiant, and undeniably fun outing for a company that continues to make an indelible mark on the city’s queer arts scene.
