2:00 pm: The Waiting Period2:00 pm: The Waiting Period "This show is an unrelenting look at a ten-day period in Copeland’s life—the mandatory ten-day waiting period before he could lay his hands on the newly purchased gun with which he planned to take his own life. Even in the midst of this tragedy, however, his wonderful sense of the comedy of life does not desert him (how much should he spend on the gun?), indeed serves him insidiously well as a buffer against the grim reality of his intention. Copeland hopes this very personal, and ultimately redemptive, story will reach people who struggle with depression—often called the last stigmatized disease—as well as their families and loved ones. Interspersed with interviews with other sufferers, the play, like so many Marsh stories, also offers outsiders an insider’s view, thereby expanding our understanding and, hopefully, our humanity." 1062 Valencia St. San Francisco, CA 94110 USA (415) 282-3055 3:00 pm: Richard III3:00 pm: Richard III African-American Shakespeare Company presents Richard III, the political thriller about a "deformed, unfinish'd" royal who conspires his way to the thrown.

6:30 pm: Pagliacci by Ruggiero Leoncavallo - Opera Talk with Film Clips6:30 pm: Pagliacci by Ruggiero Leoncavallo - Opera Talk with Film Clips – "Larry Oppenheim of Opera for the People will tell and show the story of Pagliacci to be performed by the SF Opera between September 7th and September 30th, 2018. Pagliacci (The Clowns) may be the most compelling short opera ever written. Based on a real life incident, the story is told as a play within a play. A troupe of traveling actors portrays the stock characters of Italian comedy: Harlequin, Columbine, and the Clown (Pagliaccio). But tragedy is inevitable. Real life intrudes on a stage play, as the audience gasps. This film of the 2007 Verona production simply kills – both figuratively and literally. French tenor Roberto Alagna sings his heart out as Canio, the murderously jealous clown married to an unfaithful wife. Bulgarian soprano Svetla Vassileva catches fire as Neddat, a woman controlled by her passions. Italian baritone Alberto Mastromarino is the hunchback Tonio, who plots revenge against Nedda for mocking his declarations of love." So, quick question, why do writers use disabled male characters as a vehicle for fulfilling their toxic, misogynistic revenge fantasies against women? Is this a "commit representational violence against two birds with one stone" kinda situation? 190 Lenox Way San Francisco, CA 94127 USA (415) 355-2886 |
