Summer may be over, but the shade is still simmering. On this episode, the Divas glaze over summer days past and drop into The Bay’s fall theatre scene—that’s bursting with shows and events. The shade of our tree gets shooketh, and we open up a thick book for a read—Creatively Shaded style. You might want to get that hot toddy ready and smolder up for this one!
