About two years before the inception of Theatre Rhinoceros, a serial killer known as “The Doodler” was responsible for multiple murders in the Ocean Beach and Golden Gate Park area of San Francisco. All of his victims were gay men. When he met each man he presented him with something, something that charmed him. This is the story of a gay man who is determined to find the Doodler and avenge the death of one of his victims. Fifty years later, the case is still open, and the yet unidentified “Doodler” is the subject of Theatre Rhinoceros Executive Artistic Director John Fisher’s latest one-man show, the fourth show of Rhino’s 47th season.

In 2017 The Rhino celebrated its 40th Anniversary as the longest-running LGBT theatre in the world. In 2019 we were invited to march in the Resist Contingent of the San Francisco Pride Parade (right after the Dykes on Bikes!) in recognition of our long-running commitment to activism, social justice and visibility. Our history continues as we have landed at Spark Arts (in the heart of Castro!,) where all Rhino shows are produced.
