Reminder: Play: Octopus's Garden at Alcove Theater @ Sat Mar 31 8pm - 9pm (Queer Things)

Play: Octopus's Garden at Alcove Theater

Octopus's Garden by Scott Herman confronts same-sex parenting and the meaning of the modern family in a PianoFight world premiere

PianoFight is proud to announce the world premiere of the first full-length play by Scott Herman, Octopus's Garden, the slice-of-life story of a modern family made up of two moms and an 8-year-old daughter named Anna, living the American dream of domestic normalcy. This is threatened by the arrival of Anna's absentee biological father, which forces them -- and us -- to examine the necessary yet difficult decisions made when starting a family on your own terms. Octopus's Garden is showing Saturday nights at 8pm from March 17 - April 7 at the Alcove Theater, 414 Mason Street, then transferring to Stage Werx Theater at 446 Valencia Street from April 12 - 28 where it will become part of PianoFight's Triple Threat. Tickets for Octopus's Garden are $25 at the door and $20 online at http://www.pianofight.com.

Lilly and Claire's family is unconventional -- they are a lesbian couple with an eight year old daughter Anna, living in Boulder, Colorado -- but their lives are very conventional. They take their daughter to school, they argue over money, they tickle fight and they support and love each other. This version of domestic tranquility is put in jeopardy with the unexpected arrival of Grant, a gay music teacher from New York who is Anna's biological father. The story unfolds backwards revealing that Grant has never met his daughter, and that he is the former best friend of Lilly, Anna's biological mother. Act I chronicles the evening of Grant's arrival, and Act 2, jumps to nine years earlier and the events that lead to Anna's conception.

Making her first appearance in a full-length dramatic play, recently-turned 12-year-old Nandi Drayton plays Anna. Nandi, A Bay Area native whose experience thus far is in musical theater, took the role of Anna because, "I read the script and loved the progressive story and was super excited to work with PianoFight." Nandi also noted a first for PianoFight, "Right from the first audition, I knew that I would enjoy working with this group. I felt completely welcomed. Getting to be the first young actor cast in a PianoFight production is a great opportunity." Nandi, who was just nominated for Best Female Lead in a Musical by the SF Bay Area Critics Circle, is joined on stage by PianoFight company members Gabrielle Patacsil, who plays Anna's biological mother Lilly, and Andy Strong, as Anna's father Grant. Leah Shesky as Anna's other mom, Claire, rounds out the cast.

"At its heart, it's a story about the ambiguities of the modern family," says director Devin McNulty "what does family mean in the year 2012, with increasing societal acceptance for less traditional, non-nuclear families? On its surface this play is about the unique experience of gay men and women in America trying to find their own sense of normalcy. However, at its heart Octopus's Garden is a classic American tale of kinship told through a modern lens."

The full-length and dramatic Octopus's Garden is a marked departure from PianoFight's wheelhouse of interactive theater and sketch comedy. However, how the play came about is in typical PianoFight fashion. "We read the script in mid-January," says Artistic Director Rob Ready, "And we knew immediately this was an excellent play. Plays can spend years going through workshops and rewrites. But with Octopus's Garden, we knew that this was a story that needs to be told now, not after two years of tweaks and readings." Herman was equally surprised by the speed with which the production developed, "I know Rob from a surfing trip to Northern Ireland, and I've followed PianoFight's progress in comedy over the years, but seeing how excited everyone is to put up this show and how fast everything has moved since I sent the script is really amazing."

PianoFight LLC is an SF-based production and venue management company founded by Rob Ready and Dan Williams in the summer of 2007. Former managing partners of the Off-Market Theaters until its close in 2011, PianoFight is building a state of the art theater complex with a restaurant and bar in downtown San Francisco. In five years, The award=winning PianoFight has produced over 250 original short and full-length plays, created the largest audience-judged playwriting competition in the country, tackled a choose-your-own-adventure play series, recklessly invited audiences to Throw Rotten Veggies at the Actors Night, and garnered international critical acclaim all while staying true to its goal of producing New Work by New Artists.

Reminder: Wilde Chats at Sweet Inspirations @ Sat Mar 31 10:30am - 11:30am (Queer Things)

Wilde Chats at Sweet Inspirations

Haven't had a really good meaningful conversation lately? Then come and explore Wilde Chats, one of The Community Initiative's most popular activities. Meeting at a variety of San Francisco's distinctive neighborhood cafes, a large diverse group of gay men explores topics and issues that are important to us as gay men. A great way to make new friends on a level that doesn't usually happen in bars or clubs.

Wilde Chats is a loosely structured community-driven group get together every Saturday morning to discuss specific issues affecting us as gay men and our gay community. The group is lead following a "Socratic" model; rather than talk about solutions and answers to problems, the idea is to expand on the days topic by analyzing it and breaking it up into other questions. The discussions typically focus on the hidden/unspoken assumptions, generalities and concepts that we as gay men make, and the differences that our various points of reference imply. Wilde Chats are currently taking place at the times and locations listed below.

Wilde Chats meets 10:30AM - 12:00PM Saturdays at Sweet Inspirations, 2239 Market Street between Sanchez and Noe.

Reminder: Selma James reads from Sex, Race, and Class at Modern Times @ Fri Mar 30 8pm - 9pm (Queer Things)

Selma James reads from Sex, Race, and Class at Modern Times

Selma James reads from Sex, Race, and Class

Friday, March 30th: 8pm

Modern Times Bookstore Collective
2919 24th St
San Francisco
http://www.mtbs.com
415.282.9246

In 1972 Selma James set out a new political perspective. Her starting point was the millions of unwaged women who, working in the home and on the land, were not seen as "workers" and their struggles viewed as outside of the class struggle. Based on her political training in the Johnson-Forest Tendency, founded by her late husband C.L.R. James, on movement experience South and North, and on a respectful study of Marx, she redefined the working class to include sectors previously dismissed as "marginal."

For James, the class struggle presents itself as the conflict between the reproduction and survival of the human race, and the domination of the market with its exploitation, wars, and ecological devastation. She sums up her strategy for change as "Invest in Caring not Killing."

This selection, spanning six decades, traces the development of this perspective in the course of building an international campaigning network. It includes the classic The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community which launched the "domestic labor debate," the exciting Hookers in the House of the Lord which describes a church occupation by sex workers, an incisive review of the C.L.R. James masterpiece The Black Jacobins, a reappraisal of the novels of Jean Rhys and of the leadership of Julius Nyerere, the groundbreaking Marx and Feminism, and "What the Marxists Never Told Us About Marx," published here for the first time.
