Saturday, August 3 @ 10:30AM: Donkey Hodie Meet + Greet and Screening at KQED

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.

Unfortunately this event has been postponed. We plan to reschedule this event in the near future and look forward to inviting you then!

Perfect for children ages 3 to 5, Donkey Hodie helps young viewers navigate the frustrations and challenges of childhood. Through character-driven stories full of adventure and imagination, Donkey Hodie and her pals empower young viewers to dream big, overcome obstacles in their lives and  laugh themselves silly along the way!

For Member Appreciation Week, KQED Members and their families are invited to join us for a real-life Meet & Greet, activities and two episode screenings!


Wednesday-Thursday, August 7-8  @ 7:30PM. Ari Shapiro: Thank You For Listening 

As an NPR host, he has been named “Journalist of the Year.” He has sung in some of the world’s most storied venues, from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl. Now, one of America’s most recognized and beloved storytellers serves up a new one-man cabaret.

Hilarious and moving, Thank You for Listening adapts tales from Ari Shapiro’s best-selling memoir, The Best Strangers In the World, into an evening of stories and songs about the power of listening to forge connections. Audiences will leave feeling more hopeful about the world around them…and may never listen to All Things Considered quite the same way again.

Featuring music direction and piano/guitar accompaniment by Henry Koperski.

Special VIP meet-and-greet reception (Separate ticket required $75) After Ari Shapiro’s shows, KQED members enjoy an exclusive opportunity to add VIP access for an intimate meet-and-greet cocktail reception.
