Check out our amazing 2010/11 Season!

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot by Stephen Adly Guirgis
San Francisco Premiere!
Mother Teresa, Sigmund Freud, Jesus and Satan walk into a play... that is really a trial, but is really set in this little corner of Purgatory called Hope. A whirlwind of comic energy, this intellectual, lowbrow, highbrow and, in the end, redemptive piece of theatre could only come from the author of "Jesus Hopped the A-Train" and "Our Lady of 121 Street.” Sept 24-Oct 30, 2010

Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell
Bay Area Premiere!
This unique collection of this master monologist’s work (“Swimming to Cambodia”) catapults the audience into the hilarious, heartbreaking, and ultimately remarkable life of one of the most irreverent and revered storytellers of our time. A five-person ensemble performs the beloved classics and never-before-heard stories that embrace the wit and wisdom found in the words of Spalding Gray. Jan 21- Feb 19, 2011

M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang
An Unforgettable Drama
The most bizarre fact of this incredible play is that it is based on a true story. A French diplomat carried on a twenty-year affair with a Chinese actor and opera singer, not realizing that his partner was in fact a man masquerading as a woman. From these basic facts comes a sensational drama that wonders how such an event could happen, and what stereotypes create the distortion between East and West, as well as between men and women.  Interwoven with illusions to the Puccini opera, "Madame Butterfly,” "M. Butterfly" is a highly theatrical story of love and betrayal set during China’s Cultural Revolution.  March 18-April 16, 2011

Candide of California, or Optimism adapted by Brian Katz
World Premiere
In this best of all possible countries, in this best of all possible worlds, lived a young man called Candide who was sure everything that happens is for the best. Sadly for our hero, the rest of the world has a slightly different outlook. This fast-paced, scatological, ensemble-based modernization proves that Voltaire's sarcastic, bitterly dark, hysterically funny novella is more than timeless; it is, in fact, about our very here and now!  May 13-June 5, 2011

The Book of Liz by David and Amy Sedaris
Two Sedaris for the Price of One!
Sister Elizabeth Donderstock is Squeamish, has been her whole life. She makes cheese balls (traditional and smoky) that sustain the existence of her entire religious community, Clusterhaven. However, she feels unappreciated among her Squeamish brethren, and she decides to try her luck in the outside world. Can the Squeamish be saved? Will the cheese balls ever taste good again? The answers to these and so many other questions can be found in the brilliant comedy from the Talent Family, David and Amy Sedaris.  June 24-July 31, 2011
