San Francisco Playhouse

Welcome to the 60s! This high-energy, infectious musical is the ultimate feel-good fight against prejudice, proving that if a girl with huge hair and huge talent can change a whole city, anything is possible. From the very first note, this musical delivers an instant rush of pure joy that never lets up.

San Francisco Playhouse opens its 2026/27 season with a rolling world premiere from resident playwright Aaron Loeb, staged six blocks from the Playhouse's Union Square home at the Creativity Theater. Venture capitalist May chases a billion-dollar biotech unicorn built by scientist Dr. Willa McGovern, and the ethics catch up faster than the funding round.

The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society attempts Peter Pan (flying rigs, sword fights, and a very real crocodile problem included), and everything that can go wrong does. From the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, it's nonstop, perfectly timed disaster.

A year in New York's East Village: young artists building lives and holding onto each other under the shadow of HIV/AIDS, set to a score that includes "Seasons of Love" and "La Vie Bohème." Jonathan Larson's Tony- and Pulitzer-winning musical remains one of theater's most direct portraits of joy and loss side by side.

Trevor has hidden his green, scaly skin (and himself) from Seattle for years, until Monster Fest and a first date with his crush pull him back into the world. An indie-rock score and a cult following built this offbeat musical into a genre-bending celebration of being seen.
