9. MAGIC THEATRE
In the 1970s, none other than Sam Shepard was the resident playwright of the Magic,
and its stage has seen performances by the likes of Sean Penn and Nick Nolte. It spe-
cializes in bringing new plays to light, usually by up-and-coming Americans. It also
offers “raw play” readings of as yet unstaged works.

10. BEACH BLANKET BABYLON
High camp and high headdresses, along with jolly good singing by the veteran en-
semble cast make this one of the joys of the city. It's been zinging the heartstrings of
lovers of San Francisco for more than a quarter of a century and shows no signs of
flagging. The excuse for all this frivolity is the sending up of various notables, most
of whom well deserve the good-natured ribbing.
