The Marsh Presents Nina Wise's WHAT JUST HAPPENED? 2/19-3/13

The Marsh announces Nina Wise's WHAT JUST HAPPENED?, an evening of improvisation based on personal and political events which have transpired over the previous twenty-four hours. WHAT JUST HAPPENED? runs from February 19 to March 13.

Wise's autobiographical performances, known for their warmth and compassion, weave irony, physicality and insight into complex, spontaneous narratives. Her work, which has been compared to a cross between Lily Tomlin, the Dalai Lama and Jules Feiffer, is at once full of humor and poignancy. Audiences repeatedly report that they have never seen anything quite like Wise before and that they are at one instant laughing so hard they are falling off their seats and the next moment moved to tears.

" Loving kindness abounds in her work. She makes art as fresh as the days headlines."- Village Voice.

"Nina Wise is something else again. She shapes theater pieces that are thoroughly grounded in intellectual commitment and emotional depth." -SF Chronicle

"A metaphysical vaudevillian for the new millennium"-Bob Morris, N.Y. Times columnist

"Nina Wise is part of a vanishing breed . . . artists who feel that emotional content and intellectual stimulation are not foreign ingredients to performance art." –Artweek

The show plays on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm at The Marsh Studio Theater, 1062 Valencia Street in San Francisco.
