Since we arrived in April, life has been full, surprising and inspiring! ‘Tales of The City’ not only opened with a successful Gala full of San Francisco die-hards and special guests, but we’ve been extended twice! We are now running through July 31^st with packed houses and it is thrilling! (Get your tickets if you haven’t already)

Last weekend we were given the opportunity to perform at SF Gay Pride and were also part of a special night honoring Olympia Dukakis, which benefited the A.C.T. educational program and the Richmond Ehrmet AIDS foundation.

When I took this job, I didn’t realize I would be a part of a movement. Of course I knew there were perks to being in an original piece, but didn’t realize this “original piece” had so much history and now, so much future. Our musical seems like the main event, but it is really just a new chapter in the life ‘Tales of City’ has been living for decades. Armistead Maupin’s books have been carrying the stories of the lost, the loved, the broken, the mended and the discovery of life for years. These special events and benefit performances make me realize that our musical is a transporter of these stories from the past into the next generation. Thank you Armistead. 

Here is a video made by Wesley Taylor (Mouse) capturing the behind the scenes life of our cast and crew. I think the ride this show is on is captured in the relationships of our “Tales” family. Take a look!!

Til Next Time,

Kathleen
