Dear Friends, It’s been almost a month, and we are still reeling from our incredible run of The Nightingale. We were overwhelmed by the amazing response we got from audiences and the press. This project was very special to us from the meaningful theme of the show to the collaborative process of creation to the hardships we overcame to make it happen. We are deeply grateful to everyone who came to see The Nightingale and supported this important piece of art.

We are so proud of the great show they put together for this. We are excited to feature these talented youth artists more in the future! Shows to See this August San Francisco has a thriving and unique live performance scene. We love supporting local shows and artists. Here are some shows we are recommending and excited to see this August! Get ready for a musical parody 65 million years in the making! Join Dr. Laura Dern, Jeff Ian Malcolm Goldblum and the rest of the gang as they venture to a mysterious island where dinosaurs are alive… and singing chart-topping hits of the 90s, 2000s and today. Featuring outrageous drag, fierce dance, over-the-top puppets, dino divas, and soaring pop vocals, Jurassiq Parq is the immersive campy queer sci-fi nostalgia of a millennial's wet dreams. Audiences are encouraged to dress up and sing along in this original take on the 1993 film that shaped a generation.

Great Star Theater, SF August 15 at 7:30pm, August 16 at 2pm and 7:30pm TICKETS <https://tickets.greatstartheater.org/events/greatstartheater/1761097> THE MECHANIX is the newest production from Thrillride Mechanics, San Francisco's theatre of human animation, created and presentedwith their signature blend of human cartooning, magical realism, a tinge of sci-fi and soulful storytelling. The Mechanix is a quixotic story about two ride mechanics at a seaside amusement pier who are faced with a baffling conundrum: people vanishing off their rides without a trace. When a bizarro midway appears alongside the pier’s real one they are thrust into an alternate dimension where they must navigate a funhouse of characters while discovering their own astonishing secret about identity, loss of enchantment and the mechanics of how and where we all belong. Featuring an All-Star Bay Area Cast: Maureen McVerry, Michael Phillis, Sara Toby Moore and DeMarcello Funes. Directed by Colin H.
