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.

Safe Words returns to SF Eagle for We're Queer, as in Funny, this month’s edition of Safe Words Comedy Showcase. Up from LA, Diana Hong headlines a lineup built for sharp storytelling, queer absurdity, trans joy, and the kind of bar-show electricity that makes a Wednesday at the Eagle worth planning around. Adam Strawbridge, Gold E. West, and Woodlief McCabe round out the bill, with Geulah Finman guest-hosting the night.
Safe Words exists to create safe spaces for queer audiences and accelerate the careers of queer comedians.Your investment of a VIP or Pay What You Can General Admission ticket increases performer pay, let's us bring in more of the community, and broaden our impact.
This show is built for people who want sharp stand-up in a bar where queer audiences are actually at the center. People who want to uplift queer voices (allies) are warmly welcome too - just be sure to bring cash for tips! 😜
Expect a show with range: dry intelligence, intimate storytelling, quick left turns, and comics with genuinely distinct points of view rather than a showcase interchangeable cis-het dudes making the same jokes about... us - usually.

Handel's TolomeoMusic Director Peter Whelan launches his highly anticipated first season with Philharmonia Baroque with a semi-staged production of Handel's Tolomeo, one of the composer's most beautiful and rarely heard operas. Countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen leads a star-studded cast, joined by Philharmonia's acclaimed period-instrument orchestra, in a gripping tale of political intrigue, shifting loyalties, and enduring love.Written in 1728, Tolomeo, re d'Egitto follows an exiled king stripped of power and living under an assumed identity. As political alliances shift and loyalties are tested, identities unravel and love proves more complicated-and more resilient-than expected. Handel's score moves effortlessly between moments of intimacy, heartbreak, determination, and triumph, creating a deeply human portrait of survival in uncertain times.Performed on period instruments and sung in Italian with English supertitles, Handel's Tolomeo brings audiences closer to the sound world Handel's first listeners would have known nearly 300 years ago while marking the beginning of an exciting new era for Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra &amp; Chorale under Peter Whelan's leadership.ArtistsPeter Whelan, conductorJames Darrah Black, directorAryeh Nussbaum Cohen, countertenor (Tolomeo)Lauren Snouffer, soprano (Seleuce)Nicole Heaston, soprano (Elisa)Kangmin Justin Kim, countertenor (Alessandro)Dashon Burton, bass-baritone (Araspe)ProgramHandel: Tolomeo, re d'Egitto, HWV 25PerformancesSan Francisco: Thursday, July 23, 2026 at 7:30pm - Herbst TheatreTickets$40-$175. $20 tickets available for Under 30s, while supplies last.Information and tickets at philharmonia.org, or call Patron Services at (415) 295-1900, Monday through Friday from 10AM to 4PMSung in Italian with English supertitles.

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.

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.
