Show Round Up: A Weekend Scientifically Engineered to Give You Theatre Fan FOMO

Sometimes, everything happens at once!

Every once in a while, the theatre gods conspire to create a weekend so full of blink-and-you’ll-miss-them experiences, that the entire theatregoing world gets collective fomo. Bay Area theatre lovers, this is one of those weekends. With eleven local productions closing and another four only playing this weekend, you’ll have to choose carefully when it comes to your cultural plans. Will you take in a one-night-only cabaret from the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus? Or maybe catch the final showing of Eureka Day or Barcelona in San Jose? There are productions for families, for opera loves, for new play aficionados, and for lovers of the classics, but you can’t see them all!
