Garen Patterson to Bring BACK AT THE CULT! to San Francisco Fringe, 9/11-26

By:

Garen Patterson presents BACK AT THE CULT! a solo performance musical about coming of age in a cult at the 2015 San Francisco Fringe Festival, running September 11-26, 2015 at the EXIT Studio, 156 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 94102.

It's 1969! In a desperate attempt to rescue my girlfriend from a notorious cult, I leave art school, falling victim to the persuasive powers of the cult leader. While digging holes and planting grapes in the pursuit of higher ideas, (not to mention those unbelievable parties!), the question arises: Is it possible to be an artist and still support a family?....or ANYTHING?

Directed by Mark Kenward, accompanied by Deirdre Egan.

Now in its 24th year, the San Francisco Fringe Festival brings fresh, daring, exciting theatre of all varieties to open-minded audiences of all persuasions. Often over-the-top and under-the-radar of traditional theater, "The Fringe" has its rabid devotees -- and wins more fans every year.

The 2015 San Francisco Fringe Festival, September 11 through 16 (every day but Mondays), brings 34 different shows to San Francisco's EXIT Theatreplex, 156 Eddy Street. EXIT Theatreplex is in walking distance of Union Square and the Powell Street BART station. For complete listings of venues, shows, and times go to www.sffringe.org. Or call the fringe hotline at (415) 673-3847. Tickets for BACK AT THE CULT! are $10 at door (cash only) and $12.99 online in advance. Warning: mature content, coarse language, for people over 16.
