San Francisco Playhouse

San Francisco Playhouse will close its 2025-26 season with the mega-hit musical “Hairspray.” Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, this bold Broadway phenomenon is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and groovy dancing. Set in 1962, “Hairspray” follows Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad, who dreams of dancing on her favorite TV show. When her wish comes true, she shakes up the system, using her platform to confront racial segregation and to inspire a movement that changes the face of television forever. “Hairspray” features Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman’s upbeat R&amp;B and Motown-infused score including “You Can’t Stop the Beat,” “Good Morning Baltimore,” “Welcome to the 60’s,” and “I Know Where I’ve Been” plus Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan’s uplifting book full of humor and heart. San Francisco Playhouse Artistic Director Bill English will direct the production with Phaedra Tillery-Boughton as associate director, Dave Dobrusky as musical director, and Phoenyx Rose as choreographer.

Black Cat Jazz Supper Club

Voice-led, genre-bending soul where gospel fire, jazz harmony, funk pocket, afrobeat propulsion, rock abandon, and folk honesty collide.
Born in Lagos and based in San Francisco, King David brings a sound that feels raw, radiant, and impossible to pin down. His music runs through the body first — heavy groove, open-hearted vocals, late-night tension, and songs that turn ache into movement.
With a voice that can move from church-born intensity to falsetto shimmer, King David creates the kind of room where feeling and rhythm meet: honest, strange, soulful, and alive.
Show: 7:00 PM (Doors 6:00 PM)
Band lineup: King David (voice/lead), Mark Ligonde (bass), Rich Newell (drums), Joe Maier (TBD), Chili Corder (guitar)<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/160787/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
