First Company Meeting + First Rehearsal for Doubt⁠
From shadowed lighting concepts to costume sketches, from set design to sweeping artistic vision, this is where Doubt begins.⁠

We gathered with our creative team and cast alongside Conductor, Founder, and Artistic Director Nicole Paiement, Creative Director Brian Staufenbiel, and Executive Director Daniel Harvey (@___more_life) to begin shaping a world filled with suspicion, conflict, and unraveling truths.⁠

In Doubt, the audience becomes part of the congregation, immersed in the psychological tension and layered motivations. Every glance, every silence, every accusation asks the same question: who and what will you believe?⁠

Feeling incredibly inspired by the richness and diversity of the Bay Area arts scene ✨

A heartfelt thank you to @redcurtainaddict —my go-to source for discovering the pulse of arts and culture, locally and beyond. Your passion and storytelling truly elevate the creative community 🎭

Thank you to everyone who came to our second annual Bay’s Stage Arts Soirée to celebrate the incredible artists and arts organizations across the Bay Area!

Throughout the night we enjoyed spotlight performances by @healdsburgjazz, @sfballet’s @sfballetschool, @sfgmc, @sanfranciscophil, @opera_parallele and @ttcsonoma! Each performance was absolutely amazing and it was truly an honor to present them at this special event.

Thank you to our amazing partners @duckhornwine for the delicious wine, @hendricksgin for the curated cocktails and @producedbybear to help bring this vision to life. The bites from Michael Mina’s @bourbonsteaksf and Steph Curry’s @the8thrule were truly delicious, and we couldn’t have done it without our sponsors @relationinsurance and the entire team at @localeditionsf for helping make the night so memorable. Thank you!
