When Maidrid, an ambitious Amazon, befriends a
young man from across the river she breaks a taboo
that quickly unravels her society. A mythical island
where men and women live strictly segregated lives.
A realm where people seek advice from the animals and
everyone worships the Goddess. An unlikely
but extraordinary love story.
SOLO SUNDAYS:
The New Monthly Solo Performance Series
Next Show: August 2nd 7pm
Featuring:
Jabori Davis
Nicole Maxali
San Francisco is justifiably celebrated as the nation’s solo
performance capital. A steady stream (or more recently, a swelling river)
of audacious, dedicated writer/performers, highly-skilled teachers,
award-winning directors, and adventurous producers have emerged,
and are creating fresh, new work for a willing audience looking to be
both entertained and challenged.
That’s why StageWerx and the Solo Performance Workshop have
joined together to establish:
SOLO SUNDAYS
A monthly series committed to presenting the very best up and
coming solo performers as well as seasoned solo artists developing
new shows.
W. Kamau Bell is the co-founded and facilitated of the
Solo Performance Workshop. You may be familiar with his name.
His solo show, “The W. Kamau Bell Curve” was a critical and
popular success this past year in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley
and most recently at the Comedy Central Stage in LA. He was
honored by the SF Weekly as the 2008 Comedian of the Year.
Which is likely the reason that the plays created in SPW deliver
a very funny and personal perspective on stories that often
contain serous outcomes.
SOLO SUNDAYS is being programmed by Bruce Pachtman,
the co-founder of the Solo Performance Workshop as well
as the writer/actor of “don’t make me look too psychotic”,
the acclaimed solo show that ran for a combined100 weeks in
San Francisco, Philadelphia and LA.
We’re thrilled to announce
that SOLO SUNDAYS is being produced at one of San Francisco’s
finest venues for solo performance, StageWerx, an intimate 50
seat theater directed by Ty and Cory McKenzie, a theater iconoclast
with a history of presenting anything from rock operas to scary
movies to improv comedy to staged readings to circus arts.
Tickets $10
7:00pm
Fourth Sunday of each month
(except when holidays force us to choose another weekend)
Next Show: August 2nd 7pm
Featuring:
Jabori Davis
Nicole Maxali
Please join us for what we’re
certain will be one of the best shows in town.

Stage Werx is proud and flattered and totally tripping to announce
that we are now the official home sweet home of
CIRCUS FINELLI
Circus Finelli returns to Stage Werx after a sold out run
this February. They present a Slavic slapstick cabaret with
daring comedy and dangerous cutlery.
A one hour show of Circus Comedy fraught with mishap,
sparkles, and sound effects. Come for sights to entice and
delight: juggling, cows, contortion, dance and disaster.
Circus Finelli is interactive, bright fun.
The “Slapstick Slavic Cabaret” is adult humor with kid
sound effects. The show is infused with live music and sounds
of the Circus: accordion and ukulele, trombone, crash cymbals
and slide whistles. Come early for face-painting and games.
Your host at a Circus Finelli show is man-hungry
ringmistress MadameVinaigrette (Verka Zaskodna).
She is the Czech juggling bombshell with dangerous plans.
She can joke with the audience in seven different languages.
Her musical assistant and assailant is accordionista Luz
(Luz Gaxiola). Carmelita (Molly Shannon) is the samba diva
of a million costumes. And last is Pepito, exploding from
all
corners. "The Great Alecko; Strongest Man on Earth",
will be appearing in the United States exclusively with
Circus Finelli. known in Greece as “a demi-god”, Alecko will
amaze audiences with his impossible feats of strength.
Fridays Saturdays and Sundays
