How does a well-known San Francisco comic ('openly gay since 1987') tell the story of her parents' murder-suicide? In the only way she knows how: hilariously. 'I grew up in a funny family. And then my dad shot my mom. And then himself. He was a WWII vet, an Elk. She was a passive-aggressive poet. The 'greatest generation?' Nah. Love is deadly. You ever thought of killing your spouse? It could happen to you. I survived it. Mostly. And I'm a comic.'
Black Box Theatre presents a limited San Francisco engagement of local Bay Area theater luminary Trevor Allen's critically acclaimed solo show WORKING FOR THE MOUSE.
