Starting April 27th, 2010 down by San Francisco’s Ferry Building you’ll be able to see a live-action performance of Peter Pan with 22 actors inside a huge tent that will have projections on its walls. It’s new-school theatre in the round. You know, for kids.
Check the video, see what you think. The whole shebang will run seven shows a week until July 4th at Embarcadero Plaza at the foot of Washington Street. Just go to Embarcadero and Market Street and look for the big white tent at Ferry (or is it Fairy?) Plaza – you wont be able to miss it.
Tickets on sale now. It’s going to be mega.
Here’s what it will look like:
And here’s the schematic:
If you’re still reading, you probably have a few questions. All the deets after the jump.
See you there!
And oh, here’s Robert Hurwitt’s take.

San Francisco’s hungry raccoons are delighting the online world the world over, entertaining millions with their poses of masked banditry. And why not – aren’t they cute?
Here’s another view from the camera of shutterbug Stephen Thompson. It was 2:00 AM at the Legion of Honor museum:
And here’s the full story. Dude jogs around town in the midnight hour carrying his point-and-shoot camera in a sock. Bravo.
But these photos were taken in 2006. They hung around as 1’s and 0’s until Stephen posted them to Flickr a few months back. Then, they were noticed by the Fantastic Mr. Fox – Andrew Fox, Webmaster at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF). He made a post to the FAMSF Facebook and then the rest is history.
Are these gorgeous but fiesty raccoons now the cutest animals in San Francisco?
Maybe.
But remember, we’ll always have Parrots.
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill that is:
Click to expand, it gets big. From 2005, above Telegraph Hill. Remember this day? The parrots wore green, you wore blue.
Thanks for posting your photos, Stephen Thompson.

Is Lance Armstrong noble? He seems to think so. That’s the latest from the rainy AMGEN Tour of California.

The question from Paul Kimmage of London’s Sunday Times that set Lance on edge:
“You’ve spoke recently about the return of Ivan Basso and Floyd Landis, who have returned after their suspensions, compared to David Millar – that they should be welcomed back like he was. But there was one obvious difference in that Millar admitted his doping whereas these guys have admitted to nothing. What is it about these guys dopers that you seem to admire so much?”
There’ll be no answers coming forth on that front, it appears. But here’s more grist for the mill.
What do some of the French think about Lance returning to compete in the Tour de France?
“Avec tous les soupçons de dopage à son encontre, ce retour n’est pas une bonne nouvelle pour le cyclisme.”
Ouch.
