Special Events & Festivals
(415) 561-5300

people were the first known users of the land. In 1776, the

expedition that marched north from Sonora, Mexico. After Mexico
gained its independence from Spain in 1821, the Presidio became
a Mexican frontier outpost. During the Mexican-American War in
1846, the U.S. Army took control of the Presidio. As a result of
the Base Closure and Realignment Act, the Presidio was
transferred to the National Park Service in 1994. Two years
later, the U.S. Congress established the Presidio Trust to
manage the Presidio, in partnership with the National Park
Service. Time: Monday-Sunday 12:00am-12:00am

through lenses of exoticism and xenophobia. Follow an insatiable
appetite for intrigue through three centuries in this intricate new
show. Written by Naomi Iizuka

show, says the New York Times, “a beautifully acted
