CCSF Theatre: Good. Better. Best. Bested.

City College of San Francisco Theatre Arts opens Jonathan Spector’s *Good, Better, Best, Bested.* this weekend at the Taube Atrium Theater in San Francisco. (eventbrite.com) The production is scheduled for three performances: Saturday, April 25, 2026, and Sunday, April 26, 2026, at the Taube Atrium Theater in the War Memorial Building, 401 Van Ness Avenue. Eventbrite lists the show as in-person, for ages 12 and up, with paid parking and a refund window up to seven days before the event. (eventbrite.com) CCSF describes the play as a black comedy and “a one-night journey down the Las Vegas strip,” with bachelorettes, magicians, street performers, gamblers, and tourists colliding as “an earth-shattering event happens half a world away.” Custom Made Theatre’s earlier production used the same setup for the play’s world premiere. (ccsf.edu, custommade.org) Spector’s name now carries more weight than it did when the play first premiered. His *Eureka Day* won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, and Playbill called it the first Tony win for the Oakland-based playwright. (tonyawards.com, playbill.com) For CCSF, the show also doubles as a public face for a training program that pitches theatre as both classroom work and live production. The department says it was founded in 1947 and offers transfer credits, an Associate in Arts for Transfer degree, and certificates alongside performance opportunities at venues including the Taube Atrium Theater and Z Space. (ccsf.edu, ccsf.edu) CCSF’s Eventbrite page says the company has staged work at the Diego Rivera Theatre, Z Space, the Taube Atrium at the War Memorial, and The Marsh. The organizer page lists this production as its one upcoming event as of Thursday, April 23, 2026. (eventbrite.com) The venue places the college production in San Francisco’s main performing arts corridor on Van Ness Avenue, rather than on the school’s main campus. CCSF’s department page says students perform at “historic and prestigious Bay Area performance venues,” and this run fits that model. (eventbrite.com, ccsf.edu) The immediate next step is simple: the performances begin Saturday, April 25, with the final show on Sunday, April 26. For a college department that trains actors, designers, and stage managers, this weekend is the public test. (eventbrite.com, ccsf.edu)
