SUMMARY:Manny’s: Where is Our Economy Now? With SF Controller Wagner & Chief Economist Egan
DESCRIPTION:Join Greg Wagner and Ted Egan in conversation about their roles shaping the future of the City’s economy and what is yet to come. \nSan Francisco’s economic recovery has been at the forefront of the national conversation around our City for years now. But who better to help us truly understand the recovery than the people measuring and shaping it directly? \nSF Controller Greg Wagner and Chief Economist Ted Egan will help us understand where our City sits now. Where are we in the budgetary cycle? How is AI shaping current economic trends? How does the good governance conversation\, like charter reform and commission streamlining\, come into play? And what are risks we’re seeing from the State and Federal levels? \n______________________________ \nGreg Wagner was sworn in for a 10-year term as the Controller for the City and County of San Francisco in February 2024. \nGreg began his career with the City in the Mayor’s Budget Office from 2006 to 2011\, serving as Mayor’s Budget Director under Mayors Gavin Newsom and Ed Lee. As the Mayor’s Budget Director\, Greg led the development and approval of the City’s annual balanced budget through the financially challenging years following the Great Recession. \nPrior to becoming Controller\, Greg served the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) as Chief Financial Officer where he managed a multibillion-dollar budget\, and then as Chief Operating Officer of SFDPH where he oversaw the finances and administrative operations of the City’s largest department\, including Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG)\, Laguna Honda Hospital\, and a citywide network of primary care\, mental health\, and substance use programs. As both Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of SFDPH\, Greg was crucial in the financial management of key public health and citywide priorities over the last decade\, including San Francisco’s emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was fundamental in managing the capital program to rebuild ZSFG and multiple outpatient service sites\, the implementation of Mental Health SF\, and the City’s implementation of the Affordable Care Act. \nNow\, as the City’s chief financial officer and auditor\, Controller Wagner\, with the support of his team\, is responsible for governance and conduct of key aspects of the City’s financial operations\, including processing payroll for all City employees\, managing the City’s bonds and debt portfolio\, and processing and monitoring the City’s budget. His office is also responsible for providing policy and economic analyses\, estimating the cost of ballot measures\, administering the City’s Whistleblower Program\, and directing performance and financial audits of City activities. \nGreg earned his Master’s degree in Public Policy from the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley. He lives in San Francisco with his wife and two children. \n______________________________ \nDr. Ted Egan is the Chief Economist of the City and County of San Francisco\, and directs the Office of Economic Analysis in the City Controller’s Office. The office prepares independent economic analysis of major City legislation. \nSince he joined in 2007\, his office has published over 100 economic impact reports on policy issues like the minimum wage\, affordable housing\, taxes and fees\, land use planning\, sporting events\, labor regulation\, and short-term rentals. During this time at the City\, he has served as an expert witness on the economics of same-sex marriage\, and won a Good Government award for his work redesigning the City’s business tax. He currently serves on the Data Users Advisory Committee of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. \nBefore joining the City\, he spent ten years working for ICF International\, managing economic development strategy projects across North America\, Europe\, Latin America\, and the Middle East. He received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley\, and lectured in the Economics and City Planning departments at Berkeley for more than ten years.

Your donation makes it possible for others to see the show for free.\nOnline ticket sales close 2 hours before each performance\, and additional tickets may be available for purchase at the door.\n75 minutes | No Intermission | Ages 14+ Please do not bring infants to the show \nAbout the Show\nWinner 2015 Theater Bay Area Award Outstanding Production of a Solo Play\nThis show is an unrelenting look at a ten-day period in Copeland’s life—the mandatory ten-day waiting period before he could lay his hands on the newly purchased gun with which he planned to take his own life. 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.”

SUMMARY:Shaping SF: Public Talk - San Francisco: A Liberal Oligarchy?
DESCRIPTION:New tech oligarchs have thrown their money around to shape city politics for the past decade. We now have a billionaire bluejeans heir for mayor. We explore how organized money and corporate power managed to steer San Francisco going back through the post-WWII cold war\, the long decline of Catholic morality\, and the explosion of social movements and the sexual revolution the city is known for. Join historian Lincoln Mitchell\, former supervisor and Mayoral candidate Tom Ammiano\, and neighborhood activist and writer Romalyn Schmaltz for a spirited romp through the tangled and conflicted histories of the past few decades.

In the midst of the so-called psychedelic renaissance\, it is more important than ever to promote dialogues between scientists and communities who have been truly involved with these medicines\, to have knowledge about the proper ways to use and steward them.\nFor more information\, visit our official website or contact us at pcu@chacruna.net \nTICKETS\nGeneral Admission – Full Weekend Pass (Fri – Sun) : $375.32\n2-Day Pass (Fri & Sat) – $295.29\n2-Day Pass (Fri & Sun) – $295.29\nSingle Day Ticket – April 17th $188.58\nSingle Day Ticket – April 18th $188.58\nSingle Day Ticket – April 19th $188.58

SUMMARY:Michelle Thomas Fine Art: A Place for Pichon by Steve Firestone (opening reception)
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: Friday\, April 17\, 5-7p\nOn view through June 26\, 2026 at Michelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery + Studio\nARTIST STATEMENT\nThe sculptures selected for this exhibition span a period of over thirty years. The ephemera of an industrialized world are materials I use consistently though not exclusively. They are reimagined and imbued with a new life once transformed. I invite the viewer to identify the architectural influences in my work. A colleague once described it as Bauhaus Romanticism; I like that phrase. Like a scavenger\, I continually collect “stuff” wherever it may appear\, rarely being inspired in the moment but trusting that the materials will reveal their potential in the future. When assessing this selection of work\, I have observed that some pieces reveal a personality while others reveal a sense of place.\nAlongside this group are some examples from my Pandemic Pantry series\, not surprisingly created during the Covid Pandemic. We were relatively homebound during that time\, a condition that encouraged introspection. There were many stories of people’s newfound interests in pickling\, canning\, fermenting and creating levains. With that in mind I looked around my studio with fresh eyes\, the shelves were packed with boxes of “ingredients” collected over the years. I was inspired to do my own version of “canning” utilizing these somewhat dormant materials. I wondered: what might it be like to walk into a strange pantry\, pick a jar off the shelf and try to make sense of what was inside? There was a learning curve to creating something inside a jar or bottle. New tools were needed for a new process and I came away with an appreciation for builders of ships in a bottle! — Steve Firestone\, March 2026

SUMMARY:Michelle Thomas Fine Art: Mother Vessel by Rebecca Edwards (opening reception)

She has exhibited works on paper and found object sculpture in Japan\, New Zealand\, and Australia\, with work held in private collections across these countries as well as in the United Kingdom\, Canada\, and the United States. The University of Queensland’s Fryer Library houses a collection of her works on paper—including drawings\, paintings and papercuts—alongside manuscripts\, journals\, and other ephemera (Rebecca Edwards Papers UQFL434). Mother Vessel is Edwards’ first exhibition in the United States. \nA childhood spent in remote parts of the South Pacific—Papua New Guinea and Nauru—and various regions of Australia\, including the Northern Territory\, Queensland\, and New South Wales\, exposed Rebecca Edwards to many different modes of existence\, and many different ways of experiencing and creating art. The culture of the Abelam people of the East Sepik\, PNG\, was an early and profound influence. \nThis foundation deepened over time through engagement with Nauruan and Kiribati Islander beadwork and needlework\, African fetish sculptures\, Catholic icon and shrine imagery\, and Japanese papercutting (kirie). At sixteen\, she spent a year in Japan living with a family in Hiroshima Prefecture\, an experience that informed her enduring connection to the country. She later studied at the University of Queensland\, majoring in Japanese language and culture\, and won the Ford Medal for Poetry twice. Several grants from Arts Queensland\, Australia Council\, and Asialink have supported her return visits to Japan to write and exhibit. \n Rebecca Edwards is committed to a sustainable practice which includes repurposing materials destined for landfill\, even when that means climbing into a dumpster! She is captivated by the doll form\, particularly paper dolls\, 12th-scale miniatures\, and sacred icons and fetishes. An experienced educator\, she has taught drawing\, papercutting\, mosaic\, poetry\, prose writing\, collage\, and bookmaking to students of all ages\, and has performed her poetry at major literary events in Australia\, New Zealand\, and Singapore.  \nHer latest collection of poetry\, Plague Animals (Puncher and Wattmann\, 2020) is available for purchase at the gallery.
