American Conservatory Theater

George Bernard Shaw’s Major Barbara, set in early 20th century England, is about Salvation Army Officer Major Barbara, who is deeply disillusioned when her struggling church accepts money from her estranged father, a wealthy munitions manufacturer. This witty play is very entertaining, but also deals with concerns about what is “moral.” Major Barbara is a co-production with Canadian company Theater Calgary, is cast with top Canadian and American actors, and has a Tony award-winning set designer. Full show info can be found at http://www.act-sf.org/majorb.

ACT is giving OUS discounted tickets: $50 for orchestra tickets (originally $80) and $40 mezzanine tickets (originally $50). If more than 25 members are able to attend, we will also have a pre-show talk at 7 pm with Carey Perloff, ACT’s Artistic Director and also an Oxford alum.

University Club of San Francisco

The Cambridge Alumni Club of Northern California has graciously invited us to join them at their monthly mixer at the University Club in San Francisco. Founded in 1890 by the alumni of multiple universities, in an elegant historic clubhouse atop Nob Hill, with a diverse membership dedicated to fellowship and community service, the University Club of San Francisco is a venue for the City’s cultural and intellectual life, and a worldwide center for the sport of squash. 

 From the Cantab N.C.A invitation:

“We meet at the University Club in the bar on the 4th floor. The club requests dress code as business casual. We welcome alumni, students, retirees, and anyone else associated with the University of Cambridge.” (or Oxford in this case) 

This should be a fun event – a reminder of College Balls and High Table with port and sherry, and a change from the hustle & bustle of Soma or the Financial District.

I look forward to seeing you there, but don’t forget the dress code!

Holiday Happy Hour with Stanford

Date

Thursday, December 12, 2013, 6:30 PM

Venue

Driftwood

The Stanford Social Network have graciously invited us to their holiday happy hour in SOMA. From their invitation:

“What’s better than warming up by a fireplace with a tasty drink in hand? — Getting to do that while mingling with your fellow alums at an awesome new bar. Driftwood, which just opened this summer, brings a cozy coastal feel to counter SOMA’s otherwise industrial vibe. If the piano and fireplace aren’t enough, you can really make yourself at home and bring your own vinyl, or you can just enjoy one of their carefully crafted cocktails or a tasty beer.”

They have created a Facebook event for the happy hour – feel free to reply there as well if you’d like.
