The Marsh San Francisco kicks off the New Year with an extension of 2017 United Solo Theatre Festival winner My Stroke of Luck, from January 4 through February 3, 2018.

The Marsh welcomes a new solo show to the Berkeley stage, What They Said About Love by Steve Budd, which was awarded the Best of Fringe at the 2016 San Francisco Fringe Festival. In this absorbing solo show, Steve wonders why other people can and why he can't tie the knot. Budd sheds light on how people meet and make it to the altar, the push and pull of relationships, singles who can't seem to settle down, and more. The Oakland-based actor captures the physical and vocal nuances of more than a dozen Bay Area characters, using their own words taken from hours of interviews, and weaves in his relentless search for the one.

In My Stroke of Luck, a new solo show at The Marsh San Francisco, Barnes recounts her experience of having a stroke, her path to recovery, and more. A spellbinding and funny look at love, family, and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Barnes shares the story of a single adoptive mother of special needs and gifted sons and how she forges a new identity after a debilitating stroke.

The Marsh San Francisco welcomes a new solo show to the Studio stage, Ain't That Rich by Kate Robards. A favorite of the 2016 Capital Fringe Fest in DC, the show was named one of the Best of Fringe by DC Metro Theater Arts and won first prize at the 2017 Maui Fringe Festival. In this compelling work, Kate describes growing up poor in an East Texas town, where she tries to keep up with the small-town wealthy people.

The Marsh San Francisco announces award-winning performer Brian Copeland is performing his final free show for this year of his acclaimed solo piece, The Waiting Period, an unflinching examination of depression. This performance is particularly directed at those struggling with depression that would be otherwise unable to attend due to the cost of admission. Featuring humorous, poignant, and riveting insights, the solo show is written by Copeland and directed by David Ford, which will return in 2018 at The Marsh. Also performing his hit show Not a Genuine Black Man for the month, this added performance of The Waiting Period will take place 5:30pm Sunday, November 19, at The Marsh San Francisco Studio, 1062 Valencia Street. General admission for this performance is free, although reservations are recommended.

Then there is HAND TO GOD, a play that hit Broadway in 2015 and notably starred Bob Saget for a bit. It's raunchy, it's laugh out loud funny, and it's got a great cast, which makes for a crazy night out.

Described as Sesame Street meets The Exorcist with critics raving It's terrific, ferociously funny. As disturbing as it is uproarious, meet HAND TO GOD's cast of characters (and puppets) that make up the small church town of Cypress, TX.
