City College of San Francisco Theatre Arts is staging Jonathan Spector’s black comedy *Good. Better. Best. Bested.* in San Francisco this weekend. (ccsf.edu) The production runs at the Taube Atrium Theater in the War Memorial Building, 401 Van Ness Ave., with performances on Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26. Eventbrite lists multiple dates for the run and says the show is in person with paid parking. (eventbrite.com) City College describes the play as “a one-night journey down the Las Vegas strip” involving bachelorettes, magicians, street performers, gamblers and tourists. Its event page calls the piece “a surreal journey” in which chaos breaks out across the globe while the characters keep moving through Vegas. (ccsf.edu) (eventbrite.com) The timing puts a student production behind a playwright whose profile rose sharply in the last year. Playbill reported that Spector’s *Eureka Day* won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play on June 8, 2025, marking his first Tony win. (playbill.com) That matters for City College because the department is using a current playwright rather than a standard repertory title. CCSF says its Theatre Arts program offers hands-on training, transfer credits to University of California and California State University campuses, and performances at venues including the Taube Atrium Theater and Z Space. (ccsf.edu 1) (ccsf.edu 2) The department has been around since 1947, according to CCSF, and lists alumni including Danny Glover, Barbara Eden and Bill Bixby. The school says students in the program train with faculty active in Bay Area theatre and media. (ccsf.edu) The show is also getting picked up in local events curation beyond the college’s own channels. Eddie’s List included it in its Bay Area roundup for the week of April 20-26, 2026. (eddies-list.com) For audiences near Civic Center, the pitch is straightforward: a current Jonathan Spector play, a student cast, and a short weekend run in one of the city’s central performance venues.
