"She also released her first book of poetry, 2024's When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance, and was the subject of the acclaimed documentary film Joan Baez: I Am a Noise in 2023. And, of course, a whole new generation of music lovers were introduced to Baez and her tempestuous relationship with Bob Dylan through last year's massively successful A Complete Unknown. (Monica Barbaro was nominated for a 2025 Oscar for supporting actress for her excellent portrayal of Baez in the Dylan biopic.)"
"For her latest trick, the 84-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is joining the cast of the Vau de Vire Society for The Soiled Dove. The circus-infused dinner-theater experience, which draws from the talents of 30-plus circus performers, dancers and other artists to transport viewers back to San Francisco's Barbary Coast in the 1890s, runs Fridays and Saturdays Sept. 5-Nov. 1 at Radium Runway at Alameda Point.

Joan Baez retired from touring in 2019 but has remained very active in other creative pursuits. Baez created the Mischief Makers series of paintings portraying figures who championed social change. Baez published a first book of poetry in 2024 titled When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance and appeared in the 2023 documentary Joan Baez: I Am a Noise. A Complete Unknown renewed interest in her relationship with Bob Dylan, with Monica Barbaro earning a 2025 Oscar nomination for portraying Baez. Baez, now 84, joins the Vau de Vire Society's The Soiled Dove dinner-theater at Alameda Point, running Sept. 5–Nov. 1.
