SF Playhouse announces its 2010-11 Season. As in prior years, it has focused its selections around a theme. The theme of the new season will be 'Why Theatre?' Why do we do theatre? How does theatre serve our community? Each of the selections for this 8th season will give a different answer to these questions. Based on the belief that mankind created theatre to serve a spiritual need in our community, the riskiest and most challenging season yet will ask SF to face mankind's deepest mysteries from the very meaning of existence to forging individual identities, facing the fear of change and exploring enduring human myths.
