Big List of Theater: Abreviated Summer Edition

I managed to see most of the shows and films on my last Big list. I'm in the process of writing about some of them. I post these lists for one pretty obvious one reason: I need a place where all the shows I want to see are listed. This eliminates all the postcards and newspaper article clutter (which makes very little difference in the overall clutter scheme at our house but I like to think it does). It certainly relieves some of the clutter in my head having to remember all the shows and when they are.

This month's list is short reflecting the falloff in the summer season.

Avant GardARAMA: An Evening of Short Experimental Plays
Cutting Ball Theater
Through August 16 @ the Exit.
San Francisco

Christian Cagigal's THE PANDORA EXPERIMENT
Through August 16 @ the Exit.
San Francisco







Twelfth Night
Shady Shakespeare Theatre Company
Runs in repertory with Comedy of Errors August 8 - September 14.
Sanborn-Skyline Park


Freedomland
Theatre in the Woods
Through August 31.
Woodside, CA







Then there's the little matter of deciding how or whether I'm going to be able to go to Portland, OR for PICA's TBA festival. So many good things to see - Tim Etchells, Forced Entertainment, Mike Daisey. I've looked into flights but it's expensive to fly with three kids, so I'm wondering if I should maybe drive? Oh oh oh road trip with kids. Think hard.

Hey Christian:

Yeah. The shot list is another list entirely. I don't necessarily publish that if you know what I'm sayin'. I've been wanting to see this show for a long time. Michelle Talgarow tells me it's amazing.

I'm thinking I'll come see it next Saturday.

Cheers,

E, if you do make it to Portland, I hope you'll let me know. It would be great to meet you in person and to give you a tour of the Armory, if you're interested.

Cheers,

Mead
