Show Round Up: Beginnings and Endings

Raising and lowering the curtain on great theatre this weekend!

With six great shows opening and five fantastic shows closing, change is in the air this weekend! If you’re not sure what to see, you might want to start with one of the three shows with TBA highlights taking the stage this week. I’m particularly excited that three out of the four highlight achievements are represented in these productions. Whether you decide based on location, content, or cast, or even vibes, there is something for you in the Bay Area this weekend. See you at the theatre!
