The Marsh Berkeley presents Carole Klyce’s “Flight Risk”

After being orphaned at 11 years old, Carole Klyce spent her adolescence running. Now, The Marsh Berkeley presents her riveting journey as a runaway in Klyce’s debut stage production, Flight Risk. Labeled “incorrigible,” young Carole lived life on the lam, from fleeing a group foster home to escaping from a juvenile correction facility. A child at large throughout New Jersey, Carole sports many names and takes on a male identity for safety, working restaurants, fields, and with the Italian mob to support herself. Throughout her journey she is cared for by unlikely mentors, including a gruff Italian ex-con chef, a retired Las Vegas showgirl, and the only Black man in a rural town. Flight Risk chronicles the six years that Carole spent self-educating and surviving by the skin of her teeth. Central Works founding member and associate artist Deb Fink directs.

Johnny Lonely & Joshua Raoul Brody’s The Saddest Night of Musical Entertainment in the History of the World

Johnny Lonely, matchless torch singer, is convinced that the reason his career hasn’t taken off is because his “Unhappy Hour” isn’t gloomy enough. But since his girlfriend just dumped him, tonight’s audition at “The Nowhere to Go but Up Club,” is his perfect chance to debut The Saddest Night of Musical Entertainment in the History of the World. His accompanist, Raoul, sees this as a professional dumpster fire, and sabotages Johnny’s plans by throwing in happy songs, sharing mindfulness tips and changing minor keys to major ones. Like Daffy Duck being tortured by Bugs Bunny, Johnny eventually loses his mind, which might be what his audience wanted the act to be all along. The show incorporates both classic torch songs and original jazz and blues tunes by Johnny Lonely. An early version of this show, Johnny Lonely’s Unhappy Hour, was first performed on “Blue Mondays,” at the Paradise Lounge, in San Francisco, in 1987. Using a mixture of original songs in the vein of jazz standards with sad pop song cove… Category: Theater / Concerts. Contact Name: The Marsh San Francisco. Contact Phone: 415-282-3055.

The Visionaries Writing Contest by Inkitt

$10,000 prize & movie adaptation for the best biography of a Silicon Valley legend. Some of the most fascinating lives of our time belong to the architects of Silicon Valley: the college dropouts, the rebels, the obsessives who rewired how we live, work, and connect.

The deadline to submit is July 31, 2026 at 11:59pm. The Grand Prize: $10,000 & a feature film adaptation. Inkitt is looking for a compelling, cinematic biography of a real or thinly fictionalized tech founder — including their origin story, obsessions, failures, and what drove them to change everything. Biopic, founder drama, tech origin story, docudrama, and historical fiction are all welcome. Any writer, anywhere in the world, may enter. Prizes: 🥇… Category: Art / Photography / Crafts. Misc.

ScentFest SF: The First West Coast Consumer Fragrance Festival, June 26-28, Fort Mason Center

A festival for anyone who loves scent, whether you are a lifelong collector or simply curious. Its rarest draw is the Osmotheque, the world's largest perfume archive, here from Versailles for the very first time in the United States. It is bringing 25 perfumes it has faithfully reconstructed from their original formulas, spanning nearly 4,000 years from Kyphi, the sacred scent of ancient Egypt, into the twentieth century, including the original 1921 Chanel No. 5, surprisingly different from the version sold today.

Josh Kornbluth’s What Is To Be Done?: Fighting Fascism and Depression

For over 35 years, Josh Kornbluth has developed his monologues through a series of improvisations — often at The Marsh. What’s currently on, and in, his mind are the related subjects of fascism and depression. For over seven months last year, he was mired in a deep depression. At the same time, our country had begun rapidly descending into fascism. So Josh found himself in a Resistance on at least two levels: against MAGA’s depredations, and against attacks from within his own psyche. And the struggle continues! Can he help save our democracy even as he tries to pull himself together? Will he have to perform these improvs from a psychiatrist’s couch? What Is To Be Done? is a work in (and of) progress.

Nina Wise’s What Just Happened?

In What Just Happened, Nina Wise in her signature style builds an improvised performance from the personal and political events which have transpired over the previous 24 hours. Nina originally performed this piece at The Marsh in San Francisco in 2009 and The Marsh Berkeley in 2010 to a sold out audience and received standing ovations and has gone on to perform WJH worldwide. Nina’s work is extremely funny, inspiring comparisons to Lily Tomlin and Feiffer’s cartoons, and also surprisingly poignant. Audiences repeatedly report that they are at one instant laughing so hard they are falling off their seats and the next moment, moved to tears. Category: Theater / Concerts.

The Marsh Berkeley presents Carole Klyce’s “Flight Risk”

After being orphaned at 11 years old, Carole Klyce spent her adolescence running. Now, The Marsh Berkeley presents her riveting journey as a runaway in Klyce’s debut stage production, Flight Risk. Labeled “incorrigible,” young Carole lived life on the lam, from fleeing a group foster home to escaping from a juvenile correction facility. A child at large throughout New Jersey, Carole sports many names and takes on a male identity for safety, working restaurants, fields, and with the Italian mob to support herself. Throughout her journey she is cared for by unlikely mentors, including a gruff Italian ex-con chef, a retired Las Vegas showgirl, and the only Black man in a rural town. Flight Risk chronicles the six years that Carole spent self-educating and surviving by the skin of her teeth. Central Works founding member and associate artist Deb Fink directs.

The Visionaries Writing Contest by Inkitt

$10,000 prize & movie adaptation for the best biography of a Silicon Valley legend.

Josh Kornbluth’s What Is To Be Done?: Fighting Fascism and Depression

For over 35 years, Josh Kornbluth has developed his monologues through a series of improvisations — often at The Marsh. What’s currently on, and in, his mind are the related subjects of fascism and depression. For over seven months last year, he was mired in a deep depression. At the same time, our country had begun rapidly descending into fascism. So Josh found himself in a Resistance on at least two levels: against MAGA’s depredations, and against attacks from within his own psyche. And the struggle continues! Can he help save our democracy even as he tries to pull himself together? Will he have to perform these improvs from a psychiatrist’s couch? What Is To Be Done? is a work in (and of) progress.

The Visionaries Writing Contest by Inkitt

$10,000 prize & movie adaptation for the best biography of a Silicon Valley legend. Some of the most fascinating lives of our time belong to the architects of Silicon Valley: the college dropouts, the rebels, the obsessives who rewired how we live, work, and connect. Inkitt invites you to craft a biographical narrative inspired by a visionary of the modern era. Your story doesn't need to be a novel — it can be a short story, an interpretation, or a close-to-fact portrait of a life that shaped our world. Think The Social Network, not a Wikipedia entry. The deadline to submit is July 31, 2026 at 11:59pm. The Grand Prize: $10,000 & a feature film adaptation. Inkitt is looking for a compelling, cinematic biography of a real or thinly fictionalized tech founder — including their origin story, obsessions, failures, and what drove them to change everything. Biopic, founder drama, tech origin story, docudrama, and historical fiction are all welcome. Any writer, anywhere in the world, may enter. Prizes: 🥇… Category: Art / Photography / Crafts. Misc.

Festival Napa Valley Presents LMR Jazz Orchestra

The LMR Jazz Orchestra returns to Festival Napa Valley with A Vanguard Legacy, a tribute to the groundbreaking Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, whose weekly performances at New York’s Village Vanguard reshaped modern big-band jazz. The evening is led by trumpet legend Jon Faddis, who joins the orchestra as both guest conductor and featured soloist.

But since his girlfriend just dumped him, tonight’s audition at “The Nowhere to Go but Up Club,” is his perfect chance to debut The Saddest Night of Musical Entertainment in the History of the World.

Like Daffy Duck being tortured by Bugs Bunny, Johnny eventually loses his mind, which might be what his audience wanted the act to be all along. The show incorporates both classic torch songs and original jazz and blues tunes by Johnny Lonely. An early version of this show, Johnny Lonely’s Unhappy Hour, was first performed on “Blue Mondays,” at the Paradise Lounge, in San Francisco, in 1987.

Josh Kornbluth’s What Is To Be Done?: Fighting Fascism and Depression

For over 35 years, Josh Kornbluth has developed his monologues through a series of improvisations — often at The Marsh. What’s currently on, and in, his mind are the related subjects of fascism and depression. For over seven months last year, he was mired in a deep depression. At the same time, our country had begun rapidly descending into fascism. So Josh found himself in a Resistance on at least two levels: against MAGA’s depredations, and against attacks from within his own psyche. And the struggle continues! Can he help save our democracy even as he tries to pull himself together? Will he have to perform these improvs from a psychiatrist’s couch? What Is To Be Done? is a work in (and of) progress.

The Visionaries Writing Contest by Inkitt

$10,000 prize & movie adaptation for the best biography of a Silicon Valley legend. Some of the most fascinating lives of our time belong to the architects of Silicon Valley: the college dropouts, the rebels, the obsessives who rewired how we live, work, and connect.

Your story doesn't need to be a novel — it can be a short story, an interpretation, or a close-to-fact portrait of a life that shaped our world. Think The Social Network, not a Wikipedia entry. The deadline to submit is July 31, 2026 at 11:59pm. The Grand Prize: $10,000 & a feature film adaptation. Inkitt is looking for a compelling, cinematic biography of a real or thinly fictionalized tech founder — including their origin story, obsessions, failures, and what drove them to change everything. Biopic, founder drama, tech origin story, docudrama, and historical fiction are all welcome. Any writer, anywhere in the world, may enter. Prizes: 🥇… Category: Art / Photography / Crafts. Misc.

Josh Kornbluth’s What Is To Be Done?: Fighting Fascism and Depression

For over 35 years, Josh Kornbluth has developed his monologues through a series of improvisations — often at The Marsh. What’s currently on, and in, his mind are the related subjects of fascism and depression. For over seven months last year, he was mired in a deep depression. At the same time, our country had begun rapidly descending into fascism. So Josh found himself in a Resistance on at least two levels: against MAGA’s depredations, and against attacks from within his own psyche. And the struggle continues! Can he help save our democracy even as he tries to pull himself together? Will he have to perform these improvs from a psychiatrist’s couch? What Is To Be Done? is a work in (and of) progress.
