The Empire Strips Back San Francisco: A Burlesque Parody

Boxcar Theatre is a Directors Theatre supporting the concepts and vision of the director. Whether original, adapted, or pre-published, Boxcar productions are bold and ambitious with a flair for the visual and fantastical. Founded in 2005, Boxcar has produced over 60 shows. Known for their unconventional staging, and founded as a site specific theatre, Boxcar has performed on Baker Beach, a moving bus, an abandoned office, a furniture store, parks, actual living rooms, and even museums across the Bay Area (most notably the Fisherman's Wharf Wax Museum). Under the artistic leadership of Nick A. Olivero, Boxcar continues to present and produce at The Palace Theater in San Francisco’s historic North Beach district.

The Barbary Stage is Ray of Light Theatre’s home in the heart of San Francisco’s Jackson Square —a reimagined, intimate performance space built for big ideas and electric storytelling. Designed to bring artists and audiences closer than ever before, the Barbary Stage blends raw theatrical energy with modern design, flexible staging, and a fiercely welcoming spirit. This is a space made for risk-taking, reinvention, and community—where classic and contemporary musicals collide, new voices are amplified, and every night feels alive, immediate, and a little bit dangerous (in the best way).

Club Fugazi Theater is home to the long-running hit "Dear San Francisco" from the world-renowned circus and arts collective, The 7 Fingers (www.7fingers.com). The show premiered in October 2021 to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike and has continued to win awards every year. This explosive, intimate, and immersive experience was created by Bay Area natives and serves as a love letter to the City by the Bay. A menu of small bites, shareable plates, and desserts, with a wine list drawing on the Italian roots of the Club, elevates the experience to what San Francisco Magazine called "San Francisco's Best New Night Out." Winner of 6 2024 readers' polls, including Best Venue, Best Show, "Travellers Choice" on TripAdvisor.
