Each week, *Grandview* highlights what we think are the best, not-to-be-missed events and offerings from across the city. ## **INTO THE BREECHES** @**Masquers Playhouse** ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/53/c7/53c7637d-655b-417c-b207-9b692de9e67f/content/images/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-16-at-2.23.30-PM.png) **INTO THE BREECHES** *by George Brant, directed by Marilyn Langbehn* Oberon Play House’s director and leading men are off at war with the Axis. Determined to press on, the director’s wife sets out to produce an all-female version of Shakespeare’s *Henriad*, assembling an increasingly unexpected team united in desire, if not actual theatre experience. Together, they deliver a delightful celebration of collaboration and persistence when the show must go on! **July 11 - August 3** [**105 Park Place, Point Richmond**](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CL174ahVbQD9whne8?ref=grandviewindependent.com) **|** [**510-232-3888**](tel:+1 510-232-3888) **|** [**info@masquers.org**](mailto:info@masquers.org) ## Thrive Thursdays @ Nicholl Park ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/53/c7/53c7637d-655b-417c-b207-9b692de9e67f/content/images/2025/07/thrive.png) [#thrivethursday](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/thrivethursday/?ref=grandviewindependent.com) starts at 5:45 p.m., Thursday at Nicholl Park.
