Read MoreCurtain Theatre Returns With a Dynamic Series of Free Performances of William Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It,’ Directed by Doyle Ott – Celebrating 25 years in Old Mill Park!
As You Like It is a play about exile, the challenges and rewards of living outside the centers of power and knowledge–and the self-knowledge and healing that emanate from Bohemia, symbolized here by the Forest of Arden in Shakespeare’s home county.This production will lean into the dangers of exile, including the need to escape and to stay hidden, the tension between the need to trust strangers and not knowing whom to trust. As the broken exiles learn to heal, shepherds and farmers reclaim the dignity of their craft and a tyrant Duke is transformed, emerging like a prayer for the wisdom the people deserve in a ruler.In design, staging and music, we will pay homage to the Bohemian ideals that Northern California—and particularly, Mill Valley—have represented for 125 years.Free! No tickets or reservations.
Read MoreBest Way to Find One’s ‘Why’ at Work: The Always Creative Grace Kraaijvanger, Founder of The Hivery Co-Working Space, Garners Kudos From Pacific Sun!
The Pacific Sun just spotlighted The Hivery among the Best of Marin 2025! Named Best Co-Working Office Space by Pacific Sun readers, The Hivery in Mill Valley is more than just a place to work—it’s a movement. A hub for creativity, mentorship and meaningful connection, The Hivery provides women with the space and support they need to build the next chapter of their lives. Founder Grace Kraaijvanger built The Hivery on three guiding values: kindness, creativity and community. Her goal? To create a metaphorical—and literal—space where the creative and collaborative process is embraced not just by artists, but by anyone seeking purpose-driven work and a life that matters. “It’s a movement about working in an entirely different way,” says Kraaijvanger on her site. “We hug, we belong, we learn, we mentor and we elevate.” In Marin, where the line between work and purpose is often beautifully blurred, The Hivery proves that success doesn’t have to come at the expense of one’s soul.
