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.

Yoga Flow SF - Ocean

“Yin yoga” targets the connective tissues of the body. Through yin stretches, more space opens up for all the channels of our circulatory system, the nervous system, and the respiratory system to flow more freely and fully. This opening also increases your range of motion, which helps you to access the more advanced asanas of “yang," or muscular-engaging yoga.
In this 90-minute workshop, you will be guided through a series of yin poses, learning the fundamentals of the practice, and experience the many benefits of these long-held floor stretches.
Linda Souders trained with Yin founders Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers, as well as Bernie Clark. She has practiced and taught yin for decades, and is excited to pass on to you this enjoyable and transformative practice.

In a world without separation, such connection includes connecting with other humans through sharing and bearing witness to our shared experience. Whether you're seeking stress relief, emotional balance, or simply a deeper connection to the natural world, a forest bathing walk is a simple yet profound way to nurture both body and soul.About the InstructorBen Page is a Forest Therapy Guide, council carrier, DJ, creator of Story Weaving and the author of Healing Trees: A Pocket Guide to Forest Bathing, The Wild Garden and The World In My Pocket.

Gray Area / Grand Theater

Join the San Francisco Pride Band for Spotlight on Broadway — a fundraiser concert and showtunes extravaganza — at the refurbished Grand Theater at 2665 Mission Street.&nbsp;
This isn’t just any fundraiser: it’s the 10th anniversary of Spotlight, and we’re celebrating with panache. The show features music from a number of hit Broadway shows, from the perennial classics (if you’re thinking of Les Mis, you’re spot on) to the more recent (such as Six: The Musical). You’ll hear the irresistible music of ABBA as featured in Mamma Mia, along with selections from West Side Story, Cabaret, and more.&nbsp;
The show will be hosted by the fabulous and multi-faceted Leanne Borghesi and Donna Sachet, Spotlight veterans who certainly are no strangers to showtunes. Leanne and Donna will be joined by vocalist Jae Truesdell.&nbsp;
The San Francisco Pride Band is conducted by Matthew Fell, who joined the band earlier this year as the Artistic Director of the Concert Band program. This is Matthew’s first Spotlight concert, which means he’s just as excited as you to hear these toe-tapping musical hits.
There will be a cash bar and a silent auction with a selection of prizes up for bidding. We hope you’ll join us for the San Francisco Pride Band’s most important fundraiser of the year.

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.
