CCSF Theatre: Good. Better. Best. Bested.

City College of San Francisco Theatre Arts is staging Jonathan Spector’s black comedy “Good, Better, Best, Bested” in San Francisco next weekend. (eventbrite.com) The production is set for three performances on Saturday, April 25, 2026, and Sunday, April 26, 2026, at the Taube Atrium Theater in the War Memorial Building, 401 Van Ness Ave. Eventbrite lists the show as an in-person performance for ages 12 and up, with a run time of about 2 hours and 30 minutes. (eventbrite.com) CCSF describes the play as “a surreal journey down the Las Vegas strip,” with magicians, bachelorettes, lovers and liars colliding while “chaos is unleashed” elsewhere in the world. A separate Bay Area listing calls it a surreal comedy about Las Vegas built around miscommunications and missed connections during a bachelorette weekend.

Jonathan Spector’s “Eureka Day” won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, and the Tony Awards site lists Spector as the author for that revival.

The college says its Theatre Arts Department, founded in 1947, offers transfer credits, an Associate in Arts for Transfer degree and certificates of achievement. (ccsf.edu) The production lands as CCSF continues using high-profile off-campus spaces while rebuilding its public performance footprint. The department says students perform at “historic and prestigious Bay Area performance venues,” naming the Taube Atrium Theater and Z Space among them. (ccsf.edu) The event is also circulating through local listings beyond the college’s own channels. Eddie’s List included it in its Bay Area events roundup for the week of April 20-26, 2026, placing the show in the same weekend calendar as festivals, concerts and other city events. (eddies-list.com)
