Episode description
Beach Blanket Babylon closes on New Year's Eve, after 45 years in San Francisco. Our third episode brings back the old Question Man format from the San Francisco Chronicle, now called "The Question," asking passersby on a North Beach street corner whether they've heard of Beach Blanket Babylon. From there, Chronicle theater critic Lily Janiak leads a discussion about the future of live theater in S.F.
Co-produced by Peter Hartlaub, Lily Janiak and Annie Vainshtein.
