There are a lot of great shows, films and exhibits to catch this weekend and beyond in the Bay Area, from a funny and poignant new play in Walnut Creek to the awesome Pacific Mambo Orchestra. Here’s a partial roundup.A ‘Brilliant’ sense of sharingAt first blush, a play about someone who keeps a list of things that make him happy might seem like a little much. After all, the holiday period just ended, we’ve probably all had our share of real or imagined good cheer — the last thing we need is someone nattering away about how puppies and peanut butter cookies make him feel good.But there is much, much, more to “Every Brilliant Thing,” the acclaimed solo show by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe that begins in previews this week in Walnut Creek.

Published Sat, 30 Nov 2024 11:27:46 GMT

It’s been a common sight this season to see Klay Thompson on the Warriors bench, staring into the half distance, contemplating how he and his team arrived at this point of mediocrity.I’m sure many Warriors fans have been watching this season with the same confusion.The Warriors have held themselves to a standard of greatness for the better part of a decade. Since Warriors coach Steve Kerr arrived in 2014 and guided Golden State to a title in his first season, championships have not merely been the goal, but the expectation for this team.That’s over now.The honest back-room conversations about the state of this team — and its future — are becoming public. The Warriors are saying the quiet part out loud.And while it’s refreshing and positive to hear such truths being told, the words are laced with tragedy, too.Thompson let us behind the curtain in his post-game comments following a quality home win over the upstart Magic on Tuesday:“Steve and I actually h...

With California State Assemblymember Evan Low running for Congress, the race to replace the seasoned lawmaker and represent a large swath of Silicon Valley in the state legislature is heating up.Last month, Low announced he was vying for retiring U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo’s congressional seat after serving in the Assembly for nine years. Since then, six candidates have filed paperwork for the District 26 seat including Low’s district director and Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board President Patrick Ahrens, Sunnyvale Vice Mayor Omar Din and Santa Clara County Board of Education Trustee Tara Sreekrishnan. The district includes Cupertino, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and parts of north and west San Jose.Ahrens said he’s more than just a longtime Low staffer, and that many of the issues impacting the community are deeply personal to him — when he was in college, he said he was housing insecure and homeless for a period of time. The 34-year-old was elected to ...

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks feel they’re playing a much better brand of hockey now than they were during the first few weeks of the season.The end results of late, though, have looked awfully familiar.The Sharks will carry a nine-game losing streak into Thursday when they play the Winnipeg Jets, the team they last beat before they started a nearly three-week skid in which they’ve been outscored 41-14.It’s not quite as bad as it was from mid-October to early November when the Sharks were outscored 55-12 on a 0-10-1 stretch to start the year. The Sharks right now are creating a few more scoring opportunities each game and doing a better job of preventing goals, at least at even strength.It just hasn’t translated into any victories, and no one knows when it will. After Thursday, the Sharks (9-26-3) host the Toronto Maple Leafs, then begin a five-game road trip.“It’s not quite 60 minutes yet for us,” Sharks coach David Quinn said. “It’s certainly a lot better ...
