This theater company is a gem. Their recent "The Taming Of the Shrew" was fantastic. Sign up for next year; you won''t regret it. Read more

Best place for a picnic with a few bottles of wine. Don't forget you can drink in the theatre.

Make sure to see an evening show! Experiencing the end of King Lear under a sky filled with stars? Devine.

They let(even encourage) you to bring food and drink! Ideal setting to see a play.

Be prepared to jump up at intermission and make a beeline for the toilets; the line for the women's gets long fast.

Come early for the Grove talks. Very educational and will make the play more enjoyable.

It's easy to get to any show at Cal Shakes - take the free shuttle from Orinda BART that runs frequently starting 90 minutes before curtain. http://511cc.org/calshakes Read more

Not actually in SF, but a BART accessible outdoor theater. Really fun to bring a picnic and see a play.
