Circumscribed: A True Tall-Tale of One Father, Two Sons, and Thousands of Foreskins

Church of Clown 2400 Bayshore BoulevardSan Francisco, CA, 94134 United States

Internationally-touring storyteller Noam Osband brings his award-winning show, “Circumscribed: A True Tall Tale of One Father, Two Sons, and Thousands of Foreskins,” to San Francisco for its Bay Area debut. It's a show about growing up with a father who was a mohel (Jewish ritual circumciser) who buried foreskins at home, failed efforts at finding paternal figures after his untimely death, and wrestling with circumcising his own kid. Weaving together family video, pictures, and audio recordings, this comedic storytelling is a perfect show about the loveable eccentrics we call family.

Join FashionxTech Designer Sebastián Vogelmann & Neurotech Media Artist Ninon Lizé Masclef for a session of imagining, ideating and illustrating what the future of fashion design will look like (in SF). ​As they’re developing their joint Fall/Winter 2026 collection right here in SF, Sebastián and his co-lead Ninon want to hear what San Franciscans, fashion enthusiasts, and anyone curious wants to see more of in fashion design— both in SF, and the future of fashion itself. ​There will be a brief lecture on how different forces develop the fashion of a given time period, technology’s role in shaping the look of an era, and where fashion is headed in the remainder of the century. After this, we’ll spend some time sketching out what we want to see in the future.

Alameda is a birder lover’s paradise. Thousands of long-distance migrant shorebirds spend their nonbreeding season at Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary; endangered and threatened species such as Least Tern and Peregrine Falcon breed on opposite ends of the island; while more common birds like California Towhee and Anna’s Hummingbird populate backyards and community gardens year-round. In all, more than 200 species of bird, in an astounding variety of shape, size and color, have been documented in Alameda. Flight Patterns celebrates the wonder of local birds through photography, drawing, painting, ceramic, print and mixed media. Curated by local birder, musician, writer Deborah Crooks, this exhibition features the work of Brice Binder, Laura (Tex) Buss, Jean Chen, Flavia Krasilchik, Rick Lewis, Mary Malec, Christopher Reiger and Dana Zed.
