2. The Marsh Berkeley presents “Seeing Stars”

Steve Budd, award-winning actor, writer, and storyteller, acclaimed for his solo shows “What They Said About Love” and “What They Said About Sex,” returns to The Marsh Berkeley with the world premiere of his newest one-man show “Seeing Stars.” Hailed as an “ingenious storyteller” by East Bay Express, Budd now highlights his personal relationship with his father. This heartfelt and hilarious mashup of personal storytelling and documentary theater describes what happens when the wish that a loved one would “change overnight” comes true, with unsettling consequences. When Steve moves back in with his parents as an adult, he finds himself wishing his father were different, less distant and gruff, more alive and engaged, only to find he is in for a big surprise. Based on a true story, “Seeing Stars” is a profound and riotous exploration of family dysfunction, mental illness, and one man's deep desire to connect with his dad.
