The Black Cat Hotel: A Host of Vampires

The Black Cat Hotel has changed hands. This Halloween, The Palace Theater's immersive Hotel returns under the care of new management - old money, impeccable manners, exclusively evening hours. Check in, receive the House Rules, and make your way room by room through live performances, hidden passages and increasingly questionable hospitality. Returning guests may notice a few changes. The mirrors are being replaced. Garlic is temporarily unavailable. And the new staff only ever work nights. Unlike a traditional stage show, The Black Cat Hotel unfolds around you.

Breaking the Silence Like a Badass

🔗 Register: https://www.rachelgrantcoaching.com/cptsdworkshop/ For many survivors of abuse, silence can become a way of life. Maybe you were told to keep the abuse a secret. Maybe you chose not to tell because you didn't think anyone would understand or believe you. Or maybe you've tried to share your story and were met with denial, minimization, or responses that left you wishing you'd stayed quiet. Join Coach Rachel Grant for a free 90-minute masterclass designed to help you explore whether - and how - you can break the silence in a way that feels grounded, intentional, and true to you. You'll learn how to prepare for difficult conversations about the abuse, stay connected to yourself when emotions arise, and shift from confrontation to self-expression so you can speak your truth without making someone else's response the measure of your healing. This is not about forcing yourself to tell someone before you're ready. It's about understanding what you need in place to use your voice with greater… Category: Meetings / Hearings.

Liberation

It's 1970s Ohio, and Lizzie has gathered a group of women in a rec center basement to change their lives and maybe the world. Decades later, Lizzie’s daughter delves into her mother’s history to find answers to the feminist revolution’s unanswered questions, reliving those necessary, messy, and impassioned meetings that asked: What does it mean for a woman to be free? Direct from its acclaimed Broadway run, Tony Award-winners Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons) and director Whitney White (Jaja's African Hair Braiding) bring ferocious wit and emotional precision to this intensely relevant and bitingly funny memory play about what we inherit, what we forget, and what we're still fighting to understand. “An unadulterated pleasure. Powerfully moving and funny. When these women talk, we want to hear every word.” Critic’s Pick, The New York Times. Category: Theater / Concerts. Cost: $25-200.

Gallery Talk: Japanese Woodblock Prints & the Language of Flowers

In 2015, Japan’s Empress Michiko chose a gold-leaf cherry-blossom woodblock print by Yowsaku Sekino for the Imperial Palace. Now 20 of Sekino’s prints are on view at Art House SF in the Castro, in what are his only solo exhibitions outside Japan. Gallery founder Max Khusid leads a small-group talk in front of the prints. It covers ukiyo-e and the postwar “creative prints” movement, how Japanese prints reached Van Gogh and later Steve Jobs, how Sekino layers 10+ hand-carved blocks and applies gold leaf by hand, and hanakotoba, the Japanese language of flowers.

Interpreting 250 Years Since the Anza Expedition

About the Event This year marks the 250-year anniversary of the arrival of the Anza Expedition. In 2026, many events across the Bay Area and beyond have commemorated the arrival of the Anza expedition, which led to the founding of the Presidio and Mission Dolores. The 2026 Kevin Starr lecture will explore the legacy of the expedition and its impact, addressing crucial issues, questions, conflicts, and perspectives that have persisted in the 250 years since Anza’s arrival. A distinguished panel of community-based researchers, scholars, and museum practitioners will examine not only how we view these complex interactions and events, but also how we interpret them in practical contexts such as K-12 schools, universities, historic sites, and museums. The lecture will take place at the University of San Francisco. An in-person wine and cheese reception will start at 5:30 P.M. Category: Community Events / Volunteerism. Museum / Exhibitions. Misc.

“Abiogenesis” Opening Reception - new works by Philip Beesley & Casey Curran

Heron Arts is pleased to announce Abiogenesis, a duo exhibition featuring Philip Beesley and Casey Curran. The opening reception for Abiogenesis is Saturday, November 14th, 2026 from 6-9pm. It is free and open to the public and will be part of San Francisco Art Week. The exhibition will be on view to the public until January 24th, by appointment only. Abiogenesis brings together the work of Philip Beesley and Casey Curran around an elusive phenomenon: the emergence of life from inert matter. Their work assembles unmistakably artificial elements that, in their cellular forms and gentle movement, begin to suggest life. Lacework becomes membrane. Scaffolds of repeating cells become skeletons of organisms. Glowing, shimmering light evokes the pulses of nature. Mechanical gestures appear to breathe, bloom, and reach into the world. Intimations of life within Beesley’s and Curran’s sculptures suggest that living form can emerge from the matter of the earth. Beesley and Curran probe this threshold through myth,… Category: Art / Photography / Crafts. Museum / Exhibitions. Contact Name: Nick. Contact Phone: 5106910473. Contact Email: nick@heronarts.com.

Leading with Emotion in the Age of AI

Building a company and leading teams especially in this new age of AI is emotionally demanding. From pressure and uncertainty to team tension and high-stakes decisions, you’re expected to stay clear, steady, and confident through it all.
