Rae Rae started doing comedy at Hysteria, Safe Words' free open mic for women and queer performers at the SF Eagle. This is their debut booking, and we're thrilled to debut them. Rae Rae is both terrified and grateful to be alive, and generally trying to stay awake during the middle part of the day after lunch. Trying not to be overwrought by political doom, Rae Rae distracts themself by doing social work by day, and watching Heated Rivalry or the Valkyries while eating comfort cereal at night. Also, they are totally thrilled to be in a Union, and think everyone should try it, at least once.

College of San Mateo Theatre

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. 
Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.
