Hey, forum listeners, it's Mina. I have exciting news. We're taking forum beyond the airwaves,

Support for forum comes from Broadway SF, presenting Parade, the musical revival based on a true story.

From three-time Tony-winning composer Jason Robert Brown comes the story of Leo and Lucille Frank, a newlywed Jewish couple

Tickets on sale now at Broadway, sf.com.
