San Francisco Playhouse

San Francisco Playhouse will close its 2025-26 season with the mega-hit musical “Hairspray.” Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, this bold Broadway phenomenon is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and groovy dancing. Set in 1962, “Hairspray” follows Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad, who dreams of dancing on her favorite TV show. When her wish comes true, she shakes up the system, using her platform to confront racial segregation and to inspire a movement that changes the face of television forever. “Hairspray” features Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman’s upbeat R&amp;B and Motown-infused score including “You Can’t Stop the Beat,” “Good Morning Baltimore,” “Welcome to the 60’s,” and “I Know Where I’ve Been” plus Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan’s uplifting book full of humor and heart. San Francisco Playhouse Artistic Director Bill English will direct the production with Phaedra Tillery-Boughton as associate director, Dave Dobrusky as musical director, and Phoenyx Rose as choreographer.

Aug 19, 8pm &amp; Aug 23, 12pmA new curriculum explores media literacy through collaborative, devised storytelling. Blending aspects of Theatre of the Oppressed, Restorative / Transformative Justice, and Playback Theatre, (in)credibility attempts to delineate the points at which fact becomes fiction, distortion, or deception. Currently developed with Bay Area high school students, this curriculum will be re-structured to work with college students, adult / creative aging organizations, and incarcerated arts groups.The curriculum is developed between Austin DeRubira and Julius Ernesto Rea, The Forum Collective's Artistic Director. Originally, the curriculum was developed by Kieran Beccia, a member of The Forum Collective, before being handed to DeRubira and Rea for further development. DeRubira is an educator with a Masters in Education, currently teaching History, Multimedia, and Drama at Tennyson High School in Hayward, CA. In addition to leading The Forum Collective, Rea is an established playwright, arts educator, and producer.&nbsp;In 2025, the two met to develop several lessons and activities to get high school drama students to learn about Theatre of the Oppressed (specifically Newspaper Theatre) and collaborative storytelling. In 2026, they began the first phase of curriculum development with students in DeRubira's class. Through the Spring 2026 semester, they explored activities such as collaborative note-taking and improv exercises and lessons about Image &amp; Forum Theatre and the Five Filters of News Media.&nbsp;For their final projects, students were asked to make groups pieces or solo pieces based on inspired by news stories that they would also research and analyze. In Summer 2026, specific members of the class (both current high school students and recent graduates) return to present some of the pieces developed-in the SF Playground Free Play Festival.To learn more and to RSVP, visit www.playground-sf.org/freeplay.FreePresented by The Forum.

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.
For the August 20 speaker presentation, The Clift Hotel is pleased to feature and celebrate the History of the Presidio and its 250th anniversary. Like the United States and Mission Dolores, 1776 serves as a pivotal date for another national treasure: the Presidio of San Francisco. Established 250 years ago as an outpost of Imperial Spain, the Presidio ultimately became the longest continually operating military post on the West Coast, under the flags of Spain, Mexico and the United States. Rob Thomson, Federal Preservation Officer for the Presidio Trust, will present the history of the Presidio, from its pre-contact beginnings, through its 217 years of military use, to today’s status as a beloved National Park site and one of the most successful historic preservation projects in the country. 

About the Speaker
Rob Thomson is trained as an archaeologist and historic preservation planner.&nbsp; He has worked for the Presidio Trust in San Francisco since 2006 and currently manages the agency’s historic preservation and cultural resources program as its Federal Preservation Officer.&nbsp; Prior to the Trust, Rob developed historic preservation training programs in Southeast Asia for the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles, and worked on archaeological field projects in Virginia, California, and East Africa.&nbsp; He has written extensively on historic preservation policy in the US and Asia, including a co-authored book entitled&nbsp;Architectural Conservation in Asia: National Experiences &amp; Practice.&nbsp; He holds a bachelor’s degree in archaeology from the University of Virginia and a master’s degree in historic preservation from Columbia University.

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

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.
