THE STAGE MANAGER Plays The 2018 San Francisco Fringe Festival At The Exit Theatre

On a Shoestring will present The Stage Manager, an inside view from the stage actors' perspective of dealing with a BAD director who won't let you do your job and look good.

Nigel is the worst, most sarcastic director ever collecting a paycheck and phoning it in. The cast of Antony and Cleopatra want him gone, but what do you do with his body? And what is it about the ghost light?

Join EXIT Theatre and twenty-one local, national, and international theatre companies for the 27th annual San Francisco Fringe Festival, from Thursday, September 6 to Saturday, September 15. A worldwide phenomenon, begun 71 years ago in Edinburgh, Scotland, Fringe Festivals allows performers to debut new, experimental, and challenging work, develop their reputations, hone their craft, and tour the globe.

The San Francisco Fringe Festival is produced by the EXIT Theatre and is the oldest grassroots theatre festival in the Bay Area, and the second-oldest (by a few months) in the US. We're members of CAFF (Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals), and run our festival in accordance with CAFF principles, providing open access to all artists with non-curated, unjuried content and selection, and 100% of tickets sales going to the artists. During the last 26 years the SF Fringe has presented over 5,000 performances by over 1,000 independent theatre companies, and hosted countless indie theatre-makers on their stages.

The Stage Manager at San Francisco Fringe Festival Written and directed by Claudia Barr.
