PianoFight Presents ROUGHIN' IT 2: THEATER. OYSTERS. CAMPFIRE. BOOZE. AGAIN., 9/15 & 22

SF-based Production Company PianoFight will celebrate its 500th performance in 5 years with the site specific, waterside show Roughin' It 2: Theater. Oysters. Campfire. Booze. Again. at the Tomales Bay Oyster Company in Point Reyes Station, Calif.

In the process of building a new theater complex with a restaurant and bar in downtown San Francisco, PianoFight is capitalizing on its time without a home with a sequel to last year's wildly successful Roughin' It. Featuring all-new, original material from local playwrights, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Tomales Bay at sunset, Roughin' It 2 includes live music from a full band, beer from a local brewery, and dollar oysters around a roaring campfire.

Tickets include a round-trip shuttle ride (21+) from San Francisco to the shorefront setting and audiences are encouraged to pack a picnic and BYO-Libations. The performances will happen Saturday, September 15th, 2012 and Saturday, September 22nd, 2012. Shuttles for PianoFight's Roughin' It 2 depart San Francisco at 4:00pm for the 6:00pm show time. Tickets are $50 with the shuttle-ride – $30 tickets are also available for those who prefer to drive themselves or are under 21-years-old – and can be purchased at www.pianofight.com.

Roughin' It 2 marks another step in the development of PianoFight's cutting-edge, audience-interactive brand of theater, with site-tailored material in a novel location. Fresh off a 5 city west coast tour, The Second Annual Endless Weekend Tour, and a month long, sold-out run of the world premiere ballet- horror-comedy Duck Lake, PianoFight returns with an elegantly rugged affair to remember. The grounds of the Tomales Bay Oyster Company offer unique and varied settings (a beach, a dock, a parking lot, a forest and a ring of campfires) and PianoFight spares no imagination shepherding audiences through each distinct stage area.

The concept for Roughin' It came about simply enough: during a boozey evening on a creative retreat to a Santa Cruz beach house, PianoFight company member Gabi Patacsil and co-founder Dan Williams treated the crew to an impromptu performance of William Bivins' Grunion Run on the beach. With waves lapping at their feet and an appreciative audience of artists seated in the sand, the performance under the stars was lit only by cell phones and sparked the idea of staging work in the actual setting for which it was written.

The Tomales Bay Oyster Company, est. 1909, is located an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge and has the unique distinction of being California's oldest continuously run shellfish farm. TBOC specializes in fresh, farmed oysters as well as mussels and clams from the cool, clean waters of beautiful Tomales Bay. Picnic tables and BBQ's are available on site for audience members to sit and enjoy the great oysters.
