Steve Budd Set to Present Solo Show WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT LOVE At San Francisco Fringe Festival
Steve Budd (actor/writer) will present What They Said About Love, a one-man show about what brings couples together and keeps them from falling apart, as part of the 16-day San Francisco Fringe Festival, September 9 through 24, 2016. What They Said About Love plays September Sept. 11 @ 2:30pm, Sept. 17 @ 7pm, Sept. 18 @ 4pm, and Sept. 20 @ 7pm, at the EXIT Theatre's EXIT Studio.
What They Said About Love is documentary theater at its best, a funny, revealing, and moving one-hour solo show about looking for love, built from interviews with 35 couples and 25 singles. Meet a New Age couple that met before they met, an artist who can't resist the homeless guys in her W. Oakland 'hood, and a pair of Metal Heads who thought it would be a riot to get married on 6/6/6. Steve Budd's recreation of 12 characters is hilarious and a joy to watch. http://www.sffringe.org/what/
Celebrating its 25th Anniversary, 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 theatre, "The Fringe," whose motto is No Risk, No Art, has its rabid devotees - and wins more fans every year. Most performances run under an hour and Fringe Fans have fun trooping from venue to venue, seeing as many shows as they can in one day.
The 2016 San Francisco Fringe Festival, September 9-24 (every day but Mondays), brings 38 shows to San Francisco's EXIT Theatreplex, 156 Eddy Street, and to PianoFight, 144 Taylor Street. Both venues are within walking distance of Union Square and the Powell Street BART station.
