Central Works opened its 27th Season with Years in the Hundreds by Jesse Potterveld. The story revolves around twin sisters who have lived together for half a century. They are dressed alike and talk about taking turns when it comes to going out in the world because they can’t be seen together. The audience is fed breadcrumbs as to what is going on.
Table 19 – Film Review
One of the most important details of a wedding is the seating chart. The closer the bride and groom are to the guest, the closer their table is to the action. Now, what happens with guests who sort of know the bride or groom? Those folks get relegated to the back of the room, where no one would notice if they went missing, let alone know if they were having a good time. The film Table 19, is about the ‘forgotten guests’ experiences at a wedding.
SILENCE! THE MUSICAL
When you think of a musical, you can’t help but imagine a serial killing cannibal singing about female genitalia. Am I wrong? Well, Silence! The Musical will have you thinking differently. Cloud 9 Theatricals, in association with Lang Entertainment Group and Ray of Light Theatre, has brought this inventive piece to the San Francisco stage. It’s been enjoyed so much that its original closing date of Saturday, February 25 was extended until Saturday, March 18.
