San Francisco Neo-Futurists Will Perform HEART WRENCH
Performances are 9 PM on Friday, February 14 & Saturday, February 15 at the Ashby Stage.
The critically-acclaimed San Francisco Neo-Futurists will bring back their beloved annual show, Heart Wrench: A Valentine’s edition of The Infinite Wrench, a special event featuring 30 of the ensemble’s all-time favorite original short plays written on the subject of love, presented in 60 hot minutes.
Named one of “22 San Francisco things everyone must do” by the SF Chronicle, our flagship weekly show, The Infinite Wrench, is a heart-pumping race against the clock to present an ever-changing roster of 30 original plays in 60 minutes. Since our company’s founding in 2013, we’ve premiered over 3,900 hyper-short plays on our stage. For Heart Wrench, we’ve picked 30 of our favorite plays about romantic, platonic, best friendship, monogamous, polyamorous, will-they-won’t-they, and we-refuse-to-define-what-this-is love. What can we say? We’re feeling flirty.
The show will feature performances by ensemble members Eli Bishop, Danni Blackman, Hannah Cantor, jeb, Amy Langer, Joe Peña, Ray Ray, and Aneekah Uddin
The performances are at 9PM on February 14 & 15 at the Ashby Stage in Berkeley. Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased at sfneofuturists.org/heartwrench.
