Win tickets to see Tony Award-winning God of Carnage

(0)
“Gleefully nasty fun,” according to the New York Post, this hysterical hit Broadway comedy is finally coming to the North Bay!
Following an altercation between their 11-year-old sons, Annette and Alan Raleigh agree to meet Veronica and Michael Novak to discuss the situation civilly – practice the art of co-existence rather than slaughter each other with insurance claims and lawsuits. However, the veneer of polite society soon falls away as the couples begin to regress to childish accusations, bullying and bickering.
You’ve never laughed so hard until you’ve seen this action-packed, knockout farce, which won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play and 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. Eight performances weekly; get your tickets here.
To win a pair of tickets to the Thursday, May 31 production of God of Carnage, email sfbgpromos@sfbg.com by Friday, May 25 with your name, mailing address, and phone number and put “God of Carnage” in the subject. One lucky winner will receive a pair of tickets in the mail.
May 24-June 17 @ Marin Theatre Co., 397 Miller Ave., Mill Valley

Taste of Potrero: Fundraiser for Daniel Webster Elementary
|
(0)
All of San Francisco's top restaurants and bars in one room at the same time?
That is exactly what Taste of Potrero is offering with a lineup including Ame, Local Mission Eatery, Nojo and Skool to just name a few. Pair that with cocktails from the Homestead and Comstock and wines from Urbanite Cellars, and you'll have a truly fantastic event.
An added bonus is the fact that all proceeds go to Daniel Webster Elementary (DWE) School. DWE is a struggling public school in potrero hill slated for closure just five years ago. The reason DWE still here today is because of the strong local community rallying together to save it, and then maintaining that support with fundraisers like Taste of Potrero. We look forward to seeing you on May 10th!
