City College of San Francisco’s Theatre Arts department is staging Jonathan Spector’s black comedy “Good. Better. Best. Bested.” for three performances next weekend in San Francisco. (eventbrite.com) The shows are set for Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, at the Taube Atrium Theater in the War Memorial Building, 401 Van Ness Ave., with tickets listed through Eventbrite under CCSF Theatre. One event page describes the production as a 2-hour, 30-minute performance for ages 12 and up. (eventbrite.com) Spector is an Oakland-based playwright whose “Eureka Day” won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, according to Concord Theatricals, which lists “Good. Better. Best. Bested.” among his produced works. Concord says his plays have been staged on Broadway, off-Broadway, and internationally. (concordtheatricals.com) “Good. Better. Best. Bested.” began as a world premiere from Custom Made Theatre Co. and Just Theater, which describes it as a one-night story on the Las Vegas Strip involving bachelorettes, magicians, gamblers, tourists, and a crisis unfolding “half a world away.” That setup places the play in Spector’s lane of dark comedy built around public events and private denial. (custommade.org) For City College, the production lands inside a department that says it was founded in 1947 and trains students in acting, technical theatre, and stagecraft, with performances at venues including the Taube Atrium Theater and Z Space. CCSF says its program offers an Associate in Arts for Transfer degree and certificates of accomplishment in acting. (ccsf.edu) The department also frames its shows as part of a pipeline into Bay Area and university theatre programs. On its website, CCSF lists alumni including Danny Glover, Barbara Eden, Bill Bixby, Michael Gene Sullivan, and Velina Brown. (ccsf.edu) The listing in Eddie’s List places the production among the Bay Area events calendar for the week of April 20–26, 2026, giving the college show a wider audience beyond campus regulars. Ticket details and event information are posted there and on Eventbrite ahead of the weekend run. (eddies-list.com)
