San Francisco Playhouse

San Francisco Playhouse will stage the Bay Area Premiere of Kate Hamill’s imaginative “Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really.” This fierce new play turns Bram Stoker’s gothic horror classic on its head, driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity. With a gender-bending cast, sexy supernatural baddies, and Hamill’s signature piercing postmodern wit, this darkly comic drama skewers power dynamics and slays traditional women’s roles. San Francisco Playhouse Artistic Director Bill English directs a thrilling cast including San Francisco Playhouse Producing Director/ Co-Founder Susi Damilano as vampire slayer Van Helsing who is in pursuit of the titular monster, played by Bay Area theatre veteran Johnny Moreno.

The Clift Royal Sonesta San Francisco

The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel, a San Francisco landmark since 1915, continues its monthly speaker series, Making History Fun Again, designed to celebrate the city’s legendary past through lively storytelling, fascinating personalities, and unforgettable local history.
On Thursday, May 21, 2026, The Clift Hotel’s Redwood Room, in partnership with the San Francisco Historical Society, welcomes a panel of some of the city’s most celebrated hoteliers and historians for an evening devoted to the history of San Francisco’s most storied and luxurious hotels.

(Note: This program will be broadcast live from the Redwood Room.)
Historian Peter Devine will lead the discussion with stories of some of San Francisco’s most iconic hotels, including the Mark Hopkins, Fairmont, St. Francis, Sir Francis Drake, The Clift, and Palace. Together, these hotels have played an essential role in the city’s social, cultural, and political life for more than a century. They have welcomed presidents, movie stars, royalty, artists, and generations of visitors, while also serving as witnesses to some of San Francisco’s most defining moments.
The evening will also feature special guests Ron Henggeler and Marianne Milton, who will share behind-the-scenes stories and firsthand memories drawn from decades spent in San Francisco hospitality. 
San Francisco’s legacy hotels form a close-knit community of historic establishments, each with its own traditions, personalities, and approach to hospitality. From grand lobbies and rooftop views to legendary cocktails and unforgettable guests, this presentation offers a rare look inside the stories most people never hear.

Veritus Miller is an emerging pianist, composer, and bandleader from Los Angeles, California. His music encapsulates the key elements of traditional jazz standards, fused with the fresh sounds of the West Coast contemporary jazz idiom. He’s cut from the same cloth as artists like Terrace Martin, Brandon Coleman, Ryan Porter, Thundercat, and is a frequent collaborator with his older cousin Kamasi Washington.
At just 21 years old, he's performed on NPR's Tiny Desk, graduated from the Berklee College of Music, and brought his group to jazz festivals across California. He’s a charismatic old soul who captivates audiences with ear-candy melodies and heart-forward compositions like his debut single “Days With You Are Beautiful.” It’s a piece described as “a frenetic yet tightly paced epic” (Hodges, KCRW).
Miller's music is a melting pot of black music, which is a direct result of his upbringing in a creative family. His pedagogy includes legendary choreographer Lula Washington, writer, journalist, and entrepreneur Erwin Washington, his mother Tamica Washington-Miller, another great choreographer, dancer, and actress, and his father, the great drummer, educator, and composer Marcus L. Miller. Other artists he’s worked with include Ryan Porter, Jaz Karis, Lil John Roberts, Ami Taf Ra, and he's even supported Stevie Wonder with the UCLA Herb Alpert band (2024).

May 21 - 23: Thurs., Fri. and Sat. at 7:30pmSet in motion by company founder Jocelyn Reyes' adult Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, String Quartet No. ATE is a new evening-length dance exploring the tension between food, pleasure, and health. Set to Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 and performed live by members of San Francisco-based One Found Sound, String Quartet No. ATE engages a serious subject with REYES Dance's trademark vulnerability and wit.&nbsp;"This project represents my journey to reform my food habits while also honoring the culture in which I was raised -- complete with all the temptations, emotions and obsessions that food stirs up," said Reyes."But why did I choose to frame the work on Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8? Since I first discovered the music as a student in high school, it's provoked a strong reaction in me. It became a touchstone for unleashing pent-up energy and emotion, something that will serve ATE well. But I also see it as a creative challenge, hinted at by the pun in the title of my work."The performers in ATE include Madison Lindgren, Maya Mohsin, Giovana Sales Nascimento da Silva and Giulia Sales Nascimento da Silva. Emmet Webster is the sound designer and Thomas Bowersox is the lighting designer.$15 - $100.Presented by REYES Dance.

Black Cat Jazz Supper Club

Pianist, vocalist, and composer Dawn Clement is a joyful and formidable voice in modern jazz. Known for her distinctive sound and boundless versatility, she bridges lyricism and invention with ease. DownBeat writes, “The revelation is Dawn Clement’s piano, always ready with the lyricism or structure the moment needs.”
Clement has performed with Jane Ira Bloom, Ron Miles, René Marie, Julian Priester, and Ingrid Jensen, and appears on säje’s GRAMMY-nominated debut album. Her recent release, Delight (May 2025, *Origin records), features Buster Williams and Matt Wilson in a “legacy trio” recorded at the storied Maggie’s Farm in Pennsylvania—an intimate, soulful reflection on connection and lineage. She also has a forthcoming project paying tribute to the music of Blossom Dearie, featuring John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton, and Steve Kovalcheck, to be released in April of 2026.
Clement serves as Associate Professor and Area Coordinator of Jazz and American Improvised Music at Metropolitan State University of Denver, and is the Artistic Director of the Centrum Jazz Workshop. Based in Denver, she remains a vital presence in both the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest music communities.
Dear, Ms. Dearie is a project shaped by time, listening, and deep affection for the music of Blossom Dearie. Drawn to her understated brilliance—her swing, humor, and quiet authority at the piano—this recording honors the elegance of her songbook while allowing the music to breathe in the present.
The ensemble features Jeff Hamilton and John Clayton, artists whose sound, feel, and generosity define what it means to play this music at the highest level, alongside guitarist Steve Kovalcheck, whose warmth and clarity bring a lyrical voice to the band. Produced by drummer Matt Wilson, the project was arranged with care and intention, shaped specifically for this group of musicians.
In contrast to more exploratory and original-driven work often associated with the leader’s output, Dear, Ms. Dearie turns toward the song itself—intimate, grounded, and quietly swinging. It is both a tribute and a conversation: with Blossom Dearie, with the tradition, and with the artists who continue to carry it forward.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com

Free 20-Minute Photo Coaching Session with Camera or Lens

Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters

Here in Berkeley, Looking Glass Photo is where gear, guidance, and community come together—since 1971. We’re a boutique-style camera shop that outfits photographers with exactly what they need and nothing they don’t. That means real conversations, hands-on help, and curated solutions across top brands like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and more. We carry new gear, offer a thoughtful selection of preowned and consignment cameras and lenses, and place special orders when the perfect fit isn’t on the shelf. Learning is at the heart of what we do. Join our small-group classes and workshops, sign up for photo adventures in the wild (from tide pools to elk rut season), or dig into image reviews and practical technique sessions. Our Rentals program makes it easy to test drive the latest bodies, lenses, lighting and accessories—perfect for a weekend project or a big assignment—while our “Try Before You Buy” and paid Gear Outfitting service help you make confident choices. What makes us unique? Personalized coaching before and after a purchase, community-driven events (including our Photo Friends network), and a values-driven approach that puts longevity and stewardship first. We stand behind the gear we sell, keep darkroom and printing essentials flowing, and cheer on your growth every step of the way. Whether you’re brand-new to photography or a seasoned pro, Looking Glass is your trusted partner for classes, adventures, rentals, consignment and used gear, and a welcoming community that lifts each other up.
