You can choose the dates closer to the performance! With The Bald Soprano's three-week extension, a season membership is still the best way to see all three Cutting Ball shows. Later this season we have exciting new plays by Marcus Gardley and Eugenie Chan.
Or... just give the gift of absurdity. Buy a couple of tickets to The Bald Soprano and give them as a gift. It's much more creative and memorable than a tie.
Make a night of it! Many of San Francisco's best restaurants are within two blocks of our home at EXIT on Taylor:

…and Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi
A New Play by Marcus Gardley
Directed by Amy Mueller
A co-production with Playwrights Foundation
March 12 – April 11, 2010
Opening Night: March 19 at 8pm
"Jesus Moonwalks is in a lot of ways my signature play. It is based upon a story my great-grandmother used to tell about her father who fled the bonds of slavery and traveled the country in search of his family."
-Marcus Gardley, playwright
Set on the banks of the Mississippi during the final days of the Civil War, ...and Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi is a poetic journey of forgiveness and redemption inspired by the myth of Demeter and Persephone. This thought-provoking play combines traditional storytelling, gospel music, and a wicked sense of humor to create a rich, imaginative world that allows trees to preach, rivers to waltz, and Jesus to moonwalk.
