| New times! Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 5 & 8:30! Marga Gomez’s NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER The Marsh San Francisco Studio Theater Special: $5 off with password “twist”. Hilarious...Gomez at the top of her game. – SF Chronicle Funny…engaging…wickedly self-effacing. – SF Examiner Marga Gomez spills the beans in the premiere of her 9th solo show Not Getting Any Younger a comedy about lies, vanity, and the good old days. Marga’s coming of age story begins in a dairy cow’s boudoir in the Bronx and hurtles towards a ‘Forever 21’ department store in downtown San Francisco. Lauded for her honesty as an out gay comedian before it was safe to do so, she has actually been a master of deception in other ways. Now the cagey monologist unburdens herself and brings her riskiest revelation to the stage because Marga Gomez is Not Getting Any Younger.read more |

| UPCOMING Shows | ||||
| Starting February 2 Brian Copeland’s THE WAITING PERIOD San Francisco MainStage This show is an unrelenting look at a ten-day period in his life—the mandatory ten-day waiting period before he could lay hands on the newly purchased gun with which he planned to take his own life. Even in the midst of this tragedy, however, his wonderful sense of the comedy of life does not desert him (how much should he spend on the gun?), indeed serves him insidiously well as a buffer against the grim reality of his intention. There is laughter in the darkness.read more |

| 4 Nights Only! Feb 2-5! Deborah Leser-Moore’s CORDELIA, MEIN KIND Magnes By The Marsh Marsh Berkeley TheaterStage Cordelia, Mein Kind is a duet for film and live body; a personal exploration of a present-day Cordelia-like character revealed through language, physicality, image and film. Inspired by Shakespeare's King Lear, the piece combines original interviews (between a contemporary Cordelia and her father, a Yiddish-speaking Holocaust survivor recently deceased who lived in ‘exile’ in the Melbourne suburb of Bentleigh), and other visual imagery, with a language that is gestural, poetic, direct and physical. The multiplicity of performance languages weave seamlessly together, creating a challenging and unique performance work. |

Every Tuesday starting February 7 Elect To Laugh with Will Durst and Friends! is a hysterical hybrid chasing down the presidential election cycle like white on rice with material as up to date as the latest tweet from DC. It will blend monologues and commentary and perhaps the occasional rant. The show’s intent is to blur the traditional boundaries between stand- up comedy and theater. Through innovation, experimentation and a ravenous appetite for accessing the topical via the jugular, Durst and Company are out to prove that jokes are not the enemy. read more |

| Returning February 9! Geoff Hoyle’s GEEZER San Francisco MainStage From a hysterical riff on life in a nursing home to The Venerable Bede’s meditations on the meaning of life, from delightful reminisces of his youth in England and young manhood in America to ruminations on ageing and mortality, Hoyle brings his irrepressible sense of comedy and trademark physicality, as well as a certain elegiac wistfulness, to this tour-de-force performance about what it is like to grow old. read more |

Returning February 17! After traveling the globe for his first play, Circumnavigator, and studying Nigerian oil politics for his third, Tings Dey Happen, this time Hoyle is back in the United States, turning his eye and ear on America’s culture wars. Fleeing the liberal bubble of San Francisco and his hipster friends, Hoyle spent 100 days traveling through small-town America in search of some tough country wisdom and a way to bridge America’s urban/rural divide. Instead, Hoyle found himself immersed in the populist anger of the people whom Sarah Palin famously described as ‘The Real Americans’ and awed at the disconnect between Obama Nation and Palin Country. Portrayed with humor, sympathy, confusion, angst, and song, this vivid performance challenges the audience to move beyond their bafflement and engage with the future of a politically polarized America.read more |

| Coming Back to San Francisco on April 19! Charlie Varon & Jeri Lynn Cohen’s FWD: LIFE GONE VIRAL Marsh Studio Theater San Francisco FWD: LIFE GONE VIRAL is a comedy that skewers the brave new world of Internet exhibitionism. Cohen and Varon play an oncologist, her patient, their ex-spouses and an expert commentator each. Marriage, divorce, child-rearing, terminal illness, transmogrified flies and beef jerky all find their way into the play.read more |
