“Sights and Sounds” is our weekly guide to the Bay Area arts scene through the eyes and ears of local artists. On this episode, host Jenee Darden speaks with costume designer Whitney Anne Adams. She created costumes for the Hulu film “The Supremes At Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat.” The styles reflect eras from the 1950s to the 90s in Midwestern America.
Rheem Theater
Moraga
The movie theater was built in 1957 and it originally only had one screen. Over the years it has been through some changes. Now it’s a small multiplex with electric reclining seats. Legendary artists have performed here like the late Johnny Cash. The theater’s exterior has a cool green and yellow neon marquee. Lots of history here.
“Movie Sites Tour”
San Francisco
This three-hour tour features over 50 movie clips and matches their locations as you pass by them. Guests will see the house where Robin Williams’ family lived in “Mrs. Doubtfire,” the high school from “The Princess Diaries,” and so much more!
The Magic Theatre
San Francisco
The company started in 1967 and it’s become a place for creating new American plays. Great actors who have performed at the theatre include Danny Glover, Sean Penn, and Ed Harris. Their current production is called “The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body.” It’s a love letter to Black women that celebrates their joys and resilience. It’s running now until October 6. Whitney used to intern here.
