For the artist, the decision between making a living and following creative bliss -- the decision between eating and creating -- has always been a struggle. Patti Smith was homeless when she moved to New York City, and Vincent Van Gogh was poor and all but unknown when he died. The dual nature...

We know couples who've been together 10 years but can still recite the high points of their relationship -- she proposed on the Jumbotron at the ballpark, or maybe he rented a white horse (and took riding lessons) to pop the question. We know others who just met but could bend your ear for...

The fall of the Soviet Union freed not only political prisoners and some high-end vodka brands but also truckloads of culture -- including some fairy tales so dark they make Tim Burton and Edward Gorey look like My Little Pony. One is Tontlawald (in previews this weekend), an Estonian tale...

Euripides, like many ancient Greeks, regarded passionate love as a form of insanity. So he might not seem like the most fitting playwright around whom to center your Valentine’s Day date. But his Helen, which gets a staged reading tonight by SF Theater Pub, is perhaps the only play...

Comedians are “always depressed,” we hear. After we’re done fervently hoping it isn’t true, we wonder how “funny” and “depressing” ever came to be separate categories, especially post-Mitch Hedberg. At Previously Secret Information, they aren’t, sort...

The unGoogleable inheritor of the Trannyshack art-drag scepter is known as Some Thing; each Friday brings a new theme via semi-pun. It could be simple, such as Some Thing Good, or it could be A Li’l Sumptin’ Some Thing, which is funny but what are you going to wear? The first show...

If you're looking for a little more humanity and a little less apocalypse on the subject of endings, Geoff Hoyle's Geezer is a very funny one-man show about aging, decline, and death. It's back for another run after a successful run in 2011. At the beginning, Hoyle tells us that his father died...

Combine Poe's The Masque of the Red Death with Fellini's La Dolce Vita, persuade most of your actors to show off their peens, then stage the whole thing as a '30s musical revue. You might end up with something like Vice Palace, but you'll be lucky if your version is anywhere near as much fun to...

Becky Shaw is like a two-hour greatest hits album ... for a soap opera. Have a favorite cliché of the genre? You'll probably find it somewhere in Gina Gionfriddo's careening script. There's a well-to-do family that, upon the death of its patriarch, discovers it has no savings left, and...

Self-absorbed coastal types have never been particularly good at understanding rural America, but the last decade seems to have intensified our bewilderment. And that bewilderment — that sense of alienation from how the other half of America thinks and lives — serves as the...

"A country road. A tree. Evening." So go the opening stage directions of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, one of the most important plays of the 20th century. But if the set description seems minimal, Tides Theatre's interpretation of them is anything but. Director Jennifer Welch says the...

Talk about an identity crisis. Don Reed spent time in the shocking-pink world of 1980s Hollywood with a pimp for a dad. He tried various routes to finding himself: gigolo, stripper, college student. One that stuck (for a while) was a waiter in what he calls a “retirement hotel,”...

Four comedians anchor the weekly stand-up show The Business, and they’re all extremely smart and funny. Alex Koll has dramatic hair on his face and head, Sean Keane is bringin’ self-deprecation back, and Chris Garcia is mean and angry, yet somehow also gentle. But we bet they all hate...

Improv is not like therapy. Except when it is. And it doesn't provide catharsis. Except when it does. This one (we think) is both. You see, a lot of us (OK, all of us) go through fucked-up relationships at some point. And we probably ought to get therapy (or at least catharsis) but we don't....

Citizens from "red" states say they're against San Francisco values, but we've seen them wriggling with adoration at Fauxgirls! — and Fauxgirls! is not a delicate show. It's wonderful and funny and the gowns are very pretty, but the performers aren't playing. The visitors in question, a...
