Powered by exhilarating acrobatics, choreography, spoken word, video projections, shadow play, and original music, Dear San Francisco invites locals and visitors alike on a heart-stopping romp through both the essence and the myth that has San Francisco indelibly etched on our collective imagination. From the Gold Rush and 1906 earthquake to the beat poetry and the mysterious fog, San Francisco comes vividly to life through a series of tableaus (acts)—including hoop diving, Chinese pole, Korean plank,hand-balancing, juggling, and “hand-to-trap” (a form first created by Shana Carroll)—performed by an international cast of world-class acrobats including Isabella Diaz (United States), Melvin Diggs (United
States),
Family Circus where Carroll and Snider both had their first foray as performing artists. The iconic Bay
Area troupe is credited with being a pillar in the founding of what is now known as San Francisco’s Circus
Center. Both organizations were pivotal in the contemporary circus movement that took place
throughout the United States and expanded globally. In the late 80’s, Master Lu Yi was brought in by The
Pickles and the school to introduce the community to traditional Chinese acrobatics. His work continued
to establish his legacy as a world-renowned instructor who has inspired, trained, and championed a
generation of circus artists. The heritage of his work is honored in Dear San Francisco.
Adds Carroll and Snider: “Master Lu Yi is an iconic figure in the history of Circus in San Francisco. He has
influenced much of the work of The 7 Fingers and, by extension, has inspired circus arts around the
world. We are forever grateful to him.”
To further enhance the Club Fugazi experience, guests of Dear San Francisco can enjoy a curated menu
of cicchetti (small bites and plates) sourced from local purveyors, plus a selection of wines and beers
that complement the club’s Italian roots. Food and beverage service will be available at every seat in the
venue and the unique design of the Club’s seating will allow for patrons to arrive early, socialize with
groups, and mingle with the performers following the show.
“Club Fugazi has had many iterations—even different names—throughout the years, but it has always
been a social club, and always celebrated its Italian roots,” said General Manager Eric Eislund.

The Club Fugazi Experiences team includes David Dower (Co-Producer and Executive Director), Eric
Eislund (Co-Producer and General Manager), and Deborah Barrera (Co-Producer). Nassib El-Husseini,
CEO of The 7 Fingers, serves as Executive Producer.
