What we’re about
Are you formerly of the British Isles or Ireland? Need a little British/Irish sense of humour but only getting looks as though you're mad? Want to go for a Pint and hear British/Irish accents all around you? Are you looking for a night out without hearing "Isn't your accent cute"? Longing for home but not the weather? Then the San Francisco British and Irish Meetup Group is for you! We offer a variety of fun things in and around San Francisco and the Bay Area. Typical of us we run the gamut of ages, locations and likes. From watching a bit of Footie , to a Sunday Roast, to a day in the Wine Country, to a night out on the town. This meet up offers it all. So if this sounds like you and you're keen to meet fun and active people please join our meetup and fill your diary with activities that take you back home. If you have any ideas you'd like to post just let me know! If you are interested in being an assistant organizer or even if you have an event you want to host let us know.
Cheers,
James

- Peter Pan Panto!Presidio Theatre, San Francisco, CA
What is panto?
Panto is a traditional British holiday entertainment that combines slapstick humor, one-line zingers, outrageous characters and send-ups of current events - find out more here.
=================
Awaken your childlike wonder this holiday season with a brand new take on the family classic, Peter Pan. The adventure begins in San Francisco before soaring away to the magical world of Neverland, featuring familiar characters such as Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, and the Lost Boys. Panto in the Presidio fans will recognize favorites including Pecker the singing rooster and the wonderfully wacky Dame who narrates the action.
Now in its fourth year, Panto in the Presidio has quickly become a San Francisco holiday staple. The annual production is a uniquely San Franciscan twist on the British tradition of holiday pantomimes (more commonly known as Pantos) which are over-the-top musical theater parodies of popular children’s stories and folklore.
Join in the Panto traditions of booing the villains, cheering the heroes, and singing along to popular songs played by a live band.
Oh, and watch out for flying candy!
> “Do you need a new annual holiday tradition? Look no further than Presidio Theatre’s pantomime production of Sleeping Beauty.”
> –San Francisco ExaminerYou will need to buy a ticket yourself to attend this performance (last one before opening night) - ($17-$33) suitable for all ages!
