Composing for Storytelling: The Art of Collaboration

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.

On Sunday May 31st, join us for a special Birthday Edition of our detective show, which just happens to take place during the producer and one of the improv actor’s Birthday week!&nbsp;&nbsp;Will our detective blow out the birthday candles during the show?&nbsp;&nbsp;Will something criminal take place during another character’s celebration?&nbsp;&nbsp;Since the show is improvised, your guess is as good as ours!&nbsp;&nbsp;What we do know is that after the curtain call, cake will be served. So come for the show…stay for the cake!
Welcome to Secret Improv VICE, a monthly improvised detective show. &nbsp;San Francisco in 1947 is being pounded by an epic crime wave. &nbsp;To the rescue: &nbsp;Detectives setting up offices on every corner in town. &nbsp;The gumshoes will be faced with a new case each episode. &nbsp;Murder, blackmail and money laundering are just the tip of an iceberg of deceit. &nbsp;But which case? &nbsp;Which of the performers will be the Private Eye? What is the Detective’s name? &nbsp;We are clueless! That’s where you come in, brave audience member. Your suggestions make or break the investigation. Dangerous enough for ya? &nbsp;You can bet your fedora. &nbsp;It’s Improv, get used to it!

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
