CCSF Theatre: Good. Better. Best. Bested.

City College of San Francisco Theatre will stage Jonathan Spector’s “Good, Better, Best, Bested” for one weekend only, with performances on April 25 and 26 in San Francisco. (eventbrite.com) The student production is set for the Taube Atrium Theater in the War Memorial Building at 401 Van Ness Ave. Event listings show a Saturday, April 25 performance and a Sunday, April 26 performance, with tickets sold through Eventbrite. (eventbrite.com 1) (eventbrite.com 2) City College’s theatre department describes the play as a black comedy set over one night on the Las Vegas Strip. Its posted synopsis follows bachelorettes, magicians, street performers, gamblers and tourists as “an earth-shattering event” unfolds elsewhere in the world. (ccsf.edu) The production lands less than a year after Spector’s “Eureka Day” won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. City College’s audition notice identifies Spector as the playwright behind both “Eureka Day” and “This Much I Know.” (tonyawards.com) (ccsf.edu) For City College, the show is also part of a larger training program that mixes acting, technical theatre and stagecraft. The department says its courses offer transferable credit to University of California and California State University campuses, alongside associate and certificate paths. (ccsf.edu 1) (ccsf.edu 2) The department says it has been operating since 1947 and regularly places students in Bay Area venues including the Taube Atrium Theater and Z Space. Its alumni list includes Danny Glover, Barbara Eden, Bill Bixby, Velina Brown and Michael Gene Sullivan. (ccsf.edu) Other local listings peg the Saturday show at 2 p.m. and list admission at $18, though the organizer’s Eventbrite pages are the primary ticket source. Funcheap’s calendar says the run is limited to one weekend.

The curtain goes up Saturday in the War Memorial Building, and the run ends Sunday. (eventbrite.com) (eventbrite.com)
