4 About our Season TOPDOG/UNDERDOG By Suzan-Lori Parks EXTENDED, runs now thru Oct 21 HIGHEST RATING! Exhilarating San Francisco Chronicle Easily one of the best productions of the year North Bay Bohemian Explosive San Francisco Examiner Awesome Marinscope Dazzling Marin IJ A modern work of art TheaterDogs A gritty and gripping allegory Bay Guardian IT S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY By Joe Landry Nov 23 Dec 16 One of the best holiday shows around fresh and inventive Chicago Sun-Times Step back in time to the 1940s. Become the live studio audience for a radio broadcast of this American holiday favorite. True to Frank Capra's cinematic classic, everyman George Bailey must learn that no man is a failure who has friends (and a little divine intervention). Perfect for the whole family. WAITING FOR GODOT By Samuel Beckett Jan 24 Feb 17 Greatest of 20th-century plays entertainment of a high order. The New York Times Didi and Gogo dally by the side of the road, expecting the imminent arrival of another man. They've asked him for nothing definite, but eagerly anticipate his reply (though, they admit, they do not know him well and won't recognize him when they see him). They wait, wait for Godot. THE WHIPPING MAN By Matthew Lopez Mar 28 Apr 21 Bay Area Premiere Co-production with Virginia Stage Company Suspenseful, searing... hard to shake from one s mind The Jewish Week Days after the Emancipation Proclamation, two former slaves find themselves caring for their former owner s son, a wounded Confederate captain. When the three Jewish men share an uneasy, improvised Seder, they discover that, though they are no longer tied by ownership, they remain tied by faith, history and explosive secrets. THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE By Martin McDonagh May 23 June 16 Gloriously funny... wickedly amusing... an unalloyed delight The Telegraph Middle-aged, unmarried and embittered, Maureen is locked in a stalemate with her elderly mother Mag, who is as selfish as she is manipulative. Their simmering relationship boils over when Maureen takes a lover and finds hope for escape. Expect to be gasping with surprise (and sometimes horror) in between bursts of laughter (The Herald). PAST SHOWS CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION By Annie Baker EXTENDED, closed Sept 2 Bay Area Premiere Co-production with Encore Theatre Company HIGHEST RATING! Scores on every level San Francisco Chronicle Work like this is why we go to the theatre.
