Even in the midst of this tragedy\, however\, his wonderful sense of the comedy of life does not desert him (how much should he spend on the gun?)\, indeed serves him insidiously well as a buffer against the grim reality of his intention. Copeland hopes this very personal\, and ultimately redemptive\, story will reach people who struggle with depression—often called the last stigmatized disease—as well as their families and loved ones. Interspersed with interviews with other sufferers\, the play\, like so many Marsh stories\, also offers outsiders an insider’s view\, thereby expanding our understanding and\, hopefully\, our humanity. As critic Sam Hurwitt put it in The Idiolect: “It’s a play I’d strongly recommend to anyone who is now or has ever been depressed or who knows someone in that situation. But honestly\, it’s such a strong piece that I’d recommend it just as heartily to anyone who’s ever been human.”\nAbout the Performer \nBrian Copeland has been in show business since he first stepped on the comedy stage at the tender age of 18. Soon he was headlining clubs and concerts across the country and opening for such artists as Smokey Robinson\, The Temptations\, Ringo Starr\, and the Queen of soul Aretha Franklin\, in venues from The Universal Amphitheater to Constitution Hall in Washington DC. Soon\, Copeland branched off into television\, appearing on comedy programs on NBC\, A&E and MTV. He spent five years as co-host of San Francisco FOX affiliate KTVU breakfast program Mornings on 2 and two years hosting San Francisco ABC affiliate KGO’s Emmy Award winning afternoon talker 7Live. In 1995\, ABC affiliate KGO Radio premiered “The Brian Copeland Show”. It’s unique mix of talk and entertainment soon made it the most listened to program in its time slot. Copeland branched out into theater in 2004 with his first solo play\, NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN. This critically acclaimed exploration of race and identity created an audience pleasing blend of laughter\, tears and sociology that led to the show becoming the longest running solo play in San Francisco theatrical history. Successful runs in Los Angeles and Off Broadway and a bestselling book adaptation followed. GENUINE has been performed in over 30 cities across America. Copeland’s other theatrical work includes THE WAITING PERIOD\, a solo play about his lifelong struggle with depression and the Christmas play THE JEWELRY BOX\, opening in November 2013. His first network special\, NOW BRIAN COPELAND will air in NBC in January 2015.

A lot of people are talking about the issue; but\, those San Franciscans who are directly impacted are often left out of the conversation. \nBeyond Homeless: Finding Hope is a documentary that gives voice to our community’s most vulnerable residents. Manny’s is proud to host a special screening of this film which we hope will in inspire and motivate you to take action to help those affected by homelessness. \nAfter the screening\, we will come together for a thought-provoking conversation about real actionable solutions that can make a real difference. By the end of the evening\, you will leave informed and ready to create real impact. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of the change we want to see in the world. \nBeyond Homeless: Finding Home is a project of the Independent Institute and a production of Emergent Order. Learn more at Beyond Homeless. \nABOUT THE FILM: \nSan Francisco is ground zero for a human tragedy sweeping cities across America. It’s a crisis that has vexed policy makers while it has left thousands of people stripped of their dignity. At the heart of this epidemic are human lives. These are unique individuals\, the majority of whom are suering with addiction and mental illness. Their story needs to be told. An intervention must be staged to save their lives\, save one of America’s most beautiful cities and provide a model of hope for people across the nation. \nOver the past decade\, the number of people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco has risen dramatically by more than 50%\, even as spending by the city and county has skyrocketed by over 130%. These are the numbers of an epidemic that has not been effesctively confronted. \nIn stark contrast\, in San Antonio\, the community has coalesced around a new model of human-centered\, 360 degree care and intervention that has over the same period produced a dramatic\, 80% decrease in its unsheltered homeless population— and\, in the process\, built compassion and understanding feeding continued success. Can San Francisco adapt this model to achieve dramatically different results? \nNow\, the Independent Institute\, based in Oakland California\, together with the Salvation Army are leading a coalition to change the direction of homelessness in the Bay Area and oer the people suering through this crisis\, and those in the greater community\, a way out—and\, in the process\, provide a proof of concept and inspiration for cities across the country to embrace and emulate. \nThrough a mix of interviews with experts and policy makers along with first-hand accounts from people experiencing homelessness as well as those who have successfully escaped it\, this 30-minute documentary takes viewers on an in-depth journey into the homeless crisis and how we can better address it. Beyond Homeless brings a unique mix of academic insight\, human connection and reason for hope to audiences hungry for solutions to one of our country’s most entrenched problems. \nABOUT THE PRODUCER: \nMary Theroux is the producer of Beyond Homeless: Finding Hope. She is currently Chairman and CEO of the Independent Institute\, a non-partisan academic public policy research organization\, and Executive Director of its Beyond Homeless initiative. She is the former chair and currently serves on the boards of the San Francisco and Alameda County Salvation Army Boards.

Feel confident preparing the elements that will set your salads apart: homemade croutons\, poached eggs\, and herbed goat cheese – oh my. \nFirst we will learn to make a classic Caesar salad\, with or without anchovies\, and find out why that is such a key point. As an essential element to this salad we will make our own cold emulsion (non-foodnerds call it a mayonnaise!) and the amazing warm croutons that set this dish apart from the cellophane wrapped knock-offs lined up at the market. \nNext we move on to an updated French classic. Lyonnaise\, the whole meal salad\, as we learn to poach an egg perfectly every time. Shiitake mushrooms will be transformed into faux bacon\, so smokey and rich you will never know the difference. Finally we will glisten some bitter pale green frisée lettuce with a Sherry vinaigrette\, and arrange all the components together for a simple weeknight meal. \nFinally we will end our class with a rainbow of roasted beets\, which are a technique in and of themselves. Add some arugula for bite and color\, and a creamy goat cheese in several incarnations. Out come our knives for more technique work to finish our composed salad\, as we cut away all the less desirable elements of an orange and are left with only “supremes” of perfect citrus. \nMENU \nCaesar Salad\, Garlic Mayonnaise Dressing\, Warm Croutons \nSalad Lyonnaise: Frisee Lettuce\, Poached Egg\, Shiitake Bacon \nTian of Beets\, Goats Cheese\, Arugula\, Citrus\, and Pistachio Salad \nIf you have allergies or dietary restrictions that concern your ability to cook along\, please e-mail info@18reasons.org before purchasing a ticket. \nLet’s Cook Together! \nBorn in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco\, Mike Weller grew up in the suburbs of San Jose\, where he discovered cooking as his first profession and lifetime passion.

Crossing the veil shifts the delicate equilibrium of light\, life\, and color\, which are pushed and pulled into each landscape. When the veil returns\, it releases these elements to be reclaimed by its previous existence. Stokes addresses this tenuous relationship and the resulting effects of the tension. \nIn addition to his solo exhibition\, Luna Rienne Gallery will be launching the crowdfunding campaign for their new parklet\, designed by Stokes. \nChris Stokes uses mixed media to interlace and layer unassuming combinations of color\, lines and found materials. Elements from literature\, cultural symbols\, and architecture meld together to become art that equals more than the sum of its parts. Born in Philadelphia\, the long-time San Francisco resident’s work is a reflection of his travels\, his ever-evolving perspective of the world\, and an interest in science fiction. The resulting pieces represent new landscapes and structures that seem barely possible. \nThe Thin Places will be on exhibit from May 13 through June 11\, 2023 at Luna Rienne Gallery\, 3318 22nd Street near Valencia in San Francisco\, which features visual artists working in contemporary mediums who integrate elements of urban culture with traditional techniques. The opening reception will be held on Saturday\, May 13\, from 6PM until 9PM.

De La Isla is a highly respected flamenco guitarist from the island of San Fernando near the port city of Cádiz\, in Andalusia in southwestern Spain. Renowned Spanish musician Diego Amador\, Hijo will be bringing his vocal and piano stylings to the ensemble.

This will be Santana’s debut with the company and his first time performing in San Francisco.

Come travel the world through Transitar por un Mundo sin Tiempo!\nThis show is inspired by a trip Zertuche took to Jordan in 2021\, during a time of many Covid restrictions. She says “visiting the Wadi Rum Desert\, especially\, was one of the most incredible experiences of my life: peaceful energy surrounded me like an inexplicable force.I felt the sensation —with the light\, the endless red sand\, the stars clear in the night sky — that time had ceased to exist\, that everything was perfect\, that anything could happen.

After wandering through typical teenage jobs at pizza joints and ice cream parlors\, Mike’s first “restaurant” job was with Sambo’s Coffee Shops\, slinging hash and cooking eggs for the bar rush and Sunday breakfast crowds. He moved on to help open several restaurants\, attend the California Culinary Academy\, and study under European chefs with Michelin backgrounds. Later\, Mike served as an executive chef for catering companies\, wineries and country clubs. When his son was born\, Mike transitioned his career into teaching\, returning to the CCA where he eventually became the Executive Chef and Director of Academics. Mike also returned to school for training in his new field\, earning a Master’s Degree in Education. Having taught for Le Cordon Bleu North America in both online and brick and mortar schools\, Mike is thrilled to return to teaching in a neighborhood-based community. When he is not teaching he reaps the benefits of his backyard garden\, kept in perfect order by his Master Gardener wife.
