“Wrenching, funny, endearing, maddening, and deeply moving.”

Sister.  Brother.
She's older. He always wanted to be first.
She wears ballet flats. He wears steel-toed boots.
They're both exercising their rights. 
His Second Amendment. Her First.
She's an English teacher. He's an Army recon sniper. 

Joe's heading to Afghanistan. Liza's coming to The Marsh to tell her side of the story.
All they're missing is you.

Brian Copeland returns to The Marsh with his hit show, NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN. We are thrilled to welcome Brian back home for another limited engagement of this wonderful play, which still holds the record for the longest running solo show in San Francisco history.

Five loosely connected characters—from “Ahmed,” the Pakistani immigrant held without charge after 9/11, to “The Initiated One,” a guru offering enlightenment for the capitalist age—reveal the conflicts of ideology, faith, political power and the role of the individual in contemporary American life. Alternately dark and comic, intellectual and absurd, “Ask the Question” will engage and provoke you.

Jeff Nichols’ performing career has included singing in rock bands, playing trumpet, acting, and spoken word performances.  He will be attending Southern Illinois University’s Playwriting MFA program in the Fall.  “Ask the Question” was work-shopped in Minneapolis at the Acadia Café and further developed with David Ford at The Marsh.

“Funny, insightful, and compelling with a host of interesting characters. I was afforded a rare glimpse into a side of food I never really understood before. You will CRAVE authentic, tasty Italian food after seeing this show.” SF Fringe Festival 5 Star Review.

KISS MY BOOTH, is a natural product of Doggett’s business as an Italian Importer. Every year, she participates in Fancy Food Shows in San Francisco and New York, a surreal environment offering strange and quirky personalities, including booth "babes" and buyers with a mixed variety of motives for showing interest in her products. Doggett depicts the stress, the humor and the competitiveness of working these shows, all the while hoping that the perfect buyer will come in and place orders for her pasta.

Ann Randolph, One Woman Wonder — SF Chronicle

“Hilarious and generally outrageous... a natural-born performer with a veteran's chops
... a quiet sense of the miraculous— Bay Guardian

"When I first saw [Squeeze Box], I was deeply moved. Ann Randolph's amazing work, both as a writer and fellow performer, touched my heart and my mind so profoundly that I felt it belonged on the New York stage." — Anne Bancroft

"She goes in and out of these characters. She's a bit of a genius. I've been around, and I haven't seen so much talent in one person since I married Anne Bancroft. I've got to say that these are two great Anns, and I am glad that they hooked up together." — Mel Brooks

"Rubber faced Randolph is wickedly hysterical." — Los Angeles Times

"Randolph allows us to see ourselves in and among people who seem utterly removed from our urban existence." — LA Weekly

With pathos and humor, Randolph skillfully weaves together stories about working in a women's homeless shelter and the pursuit of true love. Her painfully funny portraits of the shelter's residents, and hilarious account of her hiking trip with Harold the accordionist, man of her dreams, are beautifully drawn in this poignant tale about finding dignity and grace in unusual places.
