Recent Shows I’ve Seen

Kimberly Akimbo at the Curran Theatre is wonderful! Though the music is nothing spectacular, it’s a polished piece of writing with wonderful set design. I also enjoyed The Play That Goes Wrong at SF Playhouse. Hilarious and went way further than I thought it was going to.

Theaters I Recommend

There are a lot of great theaters in the Bay Area. Below is a small subset that I frequent. However, for a more full list checkout Theatre Bay Area or my own personal list (where you can see which shows I’m planning on attending).

  • The Orpheum, Golden Gate Theater, Curran Theatre. These are all easily accessible by BART at show touring Broadway shows. Check out NightOutNightOff for cheaper tickets to these shows.
  • The Gateway Theatre. Easily accessible by BART and have cheap tickets on TodayTix.
  • Berkeley Playhouse. Easily accessible by AC Transit and very close to campus.
  • Berkeley Rep. Easily accessible by BART. Does incredible shows but can get a little pricey. Try the Tuesday 12pm ticket releases for $20 tickets.
  • Shotgun Players. Easily accessible by BART and AC Transit. Tend to have very community engaging shows.
  • San Francisco Playhouse. Easily accessible by BART. Really great quality and somehow manages to do during the week shows (except Mondays). Highly recommend their $20 rush tickets which open 30min before show.
