CCSF Theatre: Good. Better. Best. Bested.

City College of San Francisco is staging Jonathan Spector’s black comedy “Good, Better, Best, Bested” in San Francisco on April 25 and April 26. (eventbrite.com) The production is presented by CCSF Theatre at the Taube Atrium Theater in the War Memorial Building, 401 Van Ness Ave., with separate Eventbrite listings for Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26. (eventbrite.com) CCSF describes the play as a black comedy set over one night on the Las Vegas Strip, following bachelorettes, magicians, street performers, gamblers, and tourists as a major event unfolds “half a world away.” (ccsf.edu) The Eventbrite listing calls it “a surreal journey down the Las Vegas strip” and says the show runs about 2 hours and 30 minutes and is recommended for ages 12 and up. (eventbrite.com) The timing puts a current Bay Area spotlight on Spector, whose “Eureka Day” won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. The Tony Awards site lists “Eureka Day” as the 2025 winner in that category.

The department says its courses transfer to University of California and California State University campuses and support an Associate in Arts for Transfer degree and certificates. (ccsf.edu) CCSF’s department traces its founding to 1947 and lists alumni including Danny Glover, Barbara Eden, Bill Bixby, Michael Gene Sullivan, and Velina Brown. The school says recent graduates have also worked with Bay Area arts groups including American Conservatory Theater, Shotgun Players, Magic Theatre, and San Francisco Opera. (ccsf.edu) The show is also circulating through local event listings this week, including Eddie’s List’s Bay Area roundup. For audiences, the immediate next step is simple: pick Saturday or Sunday and head to Van Ness next weekend. (eddies-list.com)
