A.C.T. BIKE TO THEATER NIGHT: needles and opium*

Thursday, March 30, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Come out to this special night of theater that’s specifically for people who bike! Join us for a pre-show happy hour from 7:00 – 8:00 pm at A.C.T.’s Sky Bar (inside the Geary Theater) for complimentary beer and snacks. Patrons who bike to the theater receive a special discount on tickets ($35 Orchestra, $25 Mezzanine, and $10 Balcony), using code THEATERSFBC online or by phone.

About the show….

Jazz legend Miles Davis travels to Europe in 1949 to discover the pleasures of Paris, unlock his creativity, and find his heroine in Juliette Gréco. At the same time, French filmmaker Jean Cocteau embarks on his own opium-fueled journey to New York. Individually, the stories are thrilling and heartbreaking, but what elevates this production is the extraordinary storytelling.

Visionary Canadian director Robert Lepage mounts his set inside a vast suspended cube, with which he frames interlocking scenes from the different journeys. The result is not only a breathtaking dive into art and exile but also a spellbinding mix of stagecraft and visual storytelling.

-A.C.T.

As always, your San Francisco Bicycle Coalition will be providing complimentary valet bicycle parking. Come park your bike with us or, better yet, volunteer!
