The Bay Area’s August lineup of accessible and free performances
Free outdoor shows continue, but we return indoors for these inclusive and affordable performances for all continue this August.
The curtains are down and the lights are up in these dog days of summer. But with season openers just around the corner, there are still places to go and things to see this month.
Disruption: A Musical Farce
Free for All: Now – August 3
In a city where nothing is more important than “innovation,” Augie’s life is all about helping his neighbors navigate an increasingly underfunded system. Meanwhile a tech genius is all about making a city attractive to the right kind of people. Who wouldn’t want that? Soon San Francisco will be a suburb of Silicon Valley—and just in time for the president’s upcoming visit. But if the city is poised to be a calm, efficient paradise why is everything suddenly on... FIRE!

Le Comte Ory
Open Captioned: Available at all performances (Now – August 2)
Rossini’s delightful comedy bursts with laughter, romance, and mischief as Count Ory stops at nothing—disguising himself in increasingly ridiculous ways—to win the heart of Countess Adèle. However, he’s not the only one scheming for her affection; his clever page is also in love with the Countess, and the two of them are hatching a plan of their own.

- Audio Described: August 10 at 2:00pm
Based on the film adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play Pygmalion, Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady is a beautiful musical about transformation, patronage, gender politics and class.
