murmur is a guide to theatre across the Bay Area, created to make the local performing arts scene easier to discover, follow, and enjoy. Our mission is to gather theatres, productions, and performances in one searchable place, so spectators can find shows that speak to them and theatres can reach the people who are most likely to care about their work.

murmur has a specially developed search criteria system, designed around how people actually choose what to see. Instead of only browsing by date or venue, visitors can search by show type, mood, audience, genre, production level, theatre, county, and performance week. The goal is simple: to help everyone find the right play, musical, or performance for their evening, their curiosity, and their mood.
