SATURDAY MAY 13 7PM–10PM
JOE GOODE PERFORMING ARTS ANNEX Mission District, San Francisco
IMAGINE IF you took the fun of a party, the intimacy of a music venue, the brilliance of a lecture, the dazzle of a theatrical performance, the laughter of comedy, the depth of heartfelt storytelling, and the connection of meaningful relationships and put them all into one awesome night. A cocktail of meaning and fun!
The evening intentionally focuses on the topics, concerns, questions, stories, and themes that are most pressing in our individual lives, our local community, and wider world.
ABOUT THE THEME "WHAT ARE WE BECOMING?" A fun and meaningful night exploring where we are and where we are going as individuals, an emerging generation and part of American Society
