San Francisco Performances attracts a total audience of more than 40,000 people annually with sixty-five performances in a variety of mid-sized venues throughout San Francisco. In addition to its high-quality and adventuresome programming, the organization reaches more than 2,000 students in grades 3 through 12 through its education program.
