New Work from Loeb, McCarthy Highlight SF Playhouse 2010-11 Season
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.
New works from Aaron Loeb (ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S BIG GAY DANCE PARTY) and Cormac McCarthy ('No Country for Old Men,' 'The Road') highlight the season, which will run from September 2010 to September 2011. Read the full season here: www.sfplayhouse.org/season1011/season1011.php.
Founded by Susi Damilano and Bill English in 2003, the SF Playhouse is Union Square's intimate, professional theatre. Using Equity actors and world class design, the SF Playhouse, about which the San Francisco Chronicle raved, "San Francisco's newest theatre isn't just another tiny stage carved out of a storefront . . . its an enticing introduction to a new company," has become an intimate theatre alternative to the traditional Union Square theatre fare, garnering 20 Bay Area Theatre Critic nominations in its first year. Providing a creative home and inspiring environment where actors, directors, writers, designers, and theatre lovers converge, SF Playhouse, hailed as a "small delicacy" by SF Weekly and "eclectic" by the San Francsico Bay Guardian, strives to create works that celebrate the human spirit.
