S.F, 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 struggling to make a life in Georgia. When Leo is accused of an

unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion.

The riveting and gloriously hopeful parade plays the Orpheum Theater for three weeks only, May 20th through June 8th.

Tickets on sale now at Broadway, sF.com.

From KQED.

Welcome back to Forum on KQED.

I'm guest host Priya David Clemens, filling in for Mina Kim.

Calls to California's Employment Development Department have soared over the past year, with about 5 million calls a week from more than 350,000 different callers.

A new San Francisco Chronicle analysis found that in May,

nearly a third of callers couldn't get through to EDD, and each caller averaged more than 10

tries. The frustrating situation has led to some to hire intermediaries, like auto-dial

and claimer, to help break through jammed lines. So have you experienced struggles reaching the EDD?

Have you tried one of these services?

We want to hear about it.

For those of you who are listening, if you'd like to join the conversation with a comment,
