CCSF Theatre: Good. Better. Best. Bested.

City College of San Francisco’s Theatre Arts department is staging Jonathan Spector’s black comedy “Good. Better. Best. Bested.” next weekend in San Francisco. (ccsf.edu) The production is set for three performances on Saturday, April 25, 2026, and Sunday, April 26, 2026, with tickets listed through Eventbrite for the Taube Atrium Theater in the War Memorial Building at 401 Van Ness Avenue. (eventbrite.com) City College’s theatre department identified the play in its Spring 2026 announcements and described it as a black comedy mounted in its current performance space at the historic Taube Atrium Theatre. (ccsf.edu) The script follows “a one-night journey down the Las Vegas strip” with bachelorettes, magicians, street performers, gamblers, and tourists before “an earth-shattering event” abroad disrupts the night, according to City College and the play’s earlier world-premiere materials. (ccsf.edu) (custommade.org) Spector arrives with a higher profile than when this play first circulated in the Bay Area. The 2025 Tony Awards recognized “Eureka Day,” his Broadway debut, as Best Revival of a Play, and the Tony site lists Spector as the author. (tonyawards.com) (playbill.com) That gives the City College production a second frame: it is both a student performance and a local staging of work by an Oakland playwright whose satire has moved from Aurora Theatre Company in Berkeley to Broadway recognition. (kqed.org) (ccsf.edu) The department itself dates to 1947 and says its program spans acting, technical theatre, and transfer-oriented coursework for University of California and California State University pathways. (ccsf.edu) The weekend run lands as City College continues to use performance venues beyond its main campus while promoting theatre classes, stagecraft training, and student showcases for Spring 2026. (ccsf.edu 1) (ccsf.edu 2) For audiences, the pitch is straightforward: a current City College production, a Tony-linked playwright, and a three-show run that starts Saturday, April 25.
