Reminder: Cockettes revival: Pearls Over Shanghai at the Hypnodrome @ Sat Nov 28 8pm - 9pm (Queer Things)
Cockettes revival: Pearls Over Shanghai at the HypnodromeThrillpeddlers Proudly Presents "Pearls Over Shanghai": A Revival of the Cockettes' 1970 Musical Extravaganza. Thrillpeddlers is proud to announce the second production of their 2009 season, "Pearls Over Shanghai," an original musical by Link Martin and Richard "Scrumbly" Koldewyn. This show is the centerpiece of our second annual Theatre of the Ridiculous Revival, and will mark the 40th anniversary of the formation of The Cockettes, a gender-bending theatrical troupe who not only originated this show, but also exerted a profound influence on the culture of our times, from the phenomenon of midnight movies to glitter rock stars and their outrageous fashions. "Pearls Over Shanghai" is now Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 7 pm through New Years. Thrillpeddlers' Hypnodrome is located at 575 10th Street, San Francisco. Based loosely on John Colton's scandalous 1926 Broadway play "The Shanghai Gesture" (later transformed into a deliriously decadent art deco film noir by Josef von Sternberg in 1941), "Pearls Over Shanghai" is a comic mock-operetta about white slavery and miscegenation set in the colorful world of 1937 Shanghai, China. Link Martin parts the bamboo curtain, his politics swept aside by his love of the mystery and intrigue of the Orient. Placing his story at the crossroads of good and evil, his exotic "old sin town" is filled with singing sailors, witty whores, foolish immortals, handmaidens and henchmen, all taking their places in streets teeming with a mix of foreign aristocrats, opium addicts, and gangland slave-trade czars. Originally produced as a Nocturnal Dream Show and performed at midnight at the old Palace Theatre in Chinatown, "Pearls Over Shanghai" was the fabled and fabulous Cockettes' first and best original showpiece. This musical became the crown jewel of The Cockettes repertoire, enjoying three revivals in two years, including a notorious and infamous run at New York's Anderson Theatre in 1971. Although "Pearls Over Shanghai" had long been germinating in the fertile mind of Link Martin, it struck the trend-setting, gender-bending theatrical troupe as extremely fortuitous when the real Peking Opera played the same stage at the Palace Theatre. At the time, much was made over a missing trunk of sequined kimonos and props that seemed to vanish. However, the items were not lost and did reappear, some months later, spawning "Pearls Over Shanghai" Two, Three, and Four. For the Thrillpeddlers production, original Cockettes Tahara and Billy Bowers will lend their considerable talents to our resident costume mistress Kara Emry in order to create original designs reminiscent of the opulent 1930s Orient as well as the psychedelic splendor of 1960s San Francisco. Stage Director for "Pearls Over Shanghai" is Russell Blackwood, and original Cockette and composer Richard "Scrumbly" Koldewyn will serve as Musical Director. The cast will include original Cockette Rumi Missabu reprising his role as the evil Madame Gin Sling. Connie Champagne, Katya Smirnoff-Skyy, and Leanne Borghesi will alternate in the role of Petrushka, first created by disco diva Sylvester in the original productions. With a supporting cast of twenty, costumes a-plenty, and a score of some two dozen songs, this production promises to be the most eye-popping and toe-tapping in the Hypnodrome's history, with the scent of intoxicating perfume, poisonous flowers, opium, and sex oozing from every scene. Pairs of patrons will surely enjoy Hypnodrome's Shock Box seats for two, which garnered SF Weekly's "Best of San Francisco 2008" for "Best Bonus Theater Experience." These themed seats include sumptuous Turkish Lounges, as well as private boxes including "Heaven" and "Hell," "Pharaoh's Tomb," and "Padded Cell," which offer the opportunity for a heightened psychedelic experience during the "opium" blackout sequence at the climax of "Pearls Over Shanghai"—with added special effects as a nod to the 1950s horror movie gimmicks of William Castle.

Reminder: Play: She Stoops to Comedy at SF Playhouse @ Sat Nov 28 8pm - 9:30pm (Queer Things)
Play: She Stoops to Comedy at SF PlayhouseSHE STOOPS TO COMEDY By David Greenspan Directed by Mark Rucker Opens (Press Night) November 21 through January 9, 2010. Previews November 17, 18, 19 and 20. Time: Tuesday 7pm, Wednesday-Saturday 8pm, Saturday Matinee 3pm. WHERE: The SF Playhouse, 533 Sutter Street (one block off Union Square, b/n Powell & Mason) TICKETS: For tickets ($30 previews, $40 regular) or more information, the public may contact The SF Playhouse box office at 415-677-9596, or http://www.sfplayhouse.org The SF Playhouse (Bill English, Artistic Director; Susi Damilano, Producing Director) continue their 7th Season dedicated to 'The Power of Laughter' with the Bay Area Premiere of David Greenspan's She Stoops to Comedy. She Stoops to Comedy is a gender-bending romp by one of New York's most innovative writer/performers, David Greenspan. With multi-layered shenanigans--actress Alexandra Page (Liam Vincent) schemes to woo back her estranged female lover (Sally Clawson) by playing Orlando (who everyone knows is a man...) opposite her lover's Rosalind in a summer-stock production of Shakespeare's As You Like It. Multiple romances of multiple kinds ensue among a cast of characters that include an archeologist/lighting designer, a director, several actors and the director's assistant for a dazzling feast of theatre. She Stoops to Comedy is an examination and deconstruction of theatrical convention, even the script of She Stoops to Comedy - and, thus, the very lives of the characters in it - is completely a work in progress, open to reinvention, reinterpretation, and even rewriting at the slightest whim. The line between actor and character is blurred, the distinctions between reality and theatricality are eliminated, and the significance of gender and sexual identity explored from practically every conceivable angle. Mark Rucker will direct a cast of local favorites including; Liam Vincent*, Amy Resnick*, Sally Clawson, Cole Alexander Smith, Carly Cioffi and comedian, Scott Capurro will return from London for this production. (*Appear courtesy of Actors Equity). Scott Capurro (Actor) was reared in Daly City, California; at age 3, he swam the English Channel; and since 1993, he's told unsavory jokes in every English speaking country, so he's surrounded by duplicity. Yet he keeps challenging himself, because he's physically challenged and emotionally unavailable. Described by San Francisco Weekly as "stand-up in the very best possible sense - deadpan, ever-alert and hilarious", Scott has appeared in Mrs. Doubtfire, where, effortlessly, he played a homosexual; and Star Wars The Phantom Menace, where, breathlessly, he wore rubber. Scott knows Jimmy Carter and Nelson Mandela. Well, he's met Nelson once. They're both vegetarians. Actually, Nelson is. Scott said he was, to impress Nelson. Jimmy eats anything. Mark Rucker (Director) has directed at many regional theaters across the country including Yale Repertory Theater, La Jolla Playhouse, Arena Stage, The Old Globe, The Intiman Playhouse, The Taper Too, The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, The Oregon Shakespeare Festival,The Asolo Repertory Theater,The George Street Playhouse, The Old Globe, Syracuse Stage, and the Acting Company. He has directed Premieres of plays by Richard Greenberg, Christopher Shinn, Melanie Marnich, Annie Weisman, John Walch, Anna Deveare Smith, John Glore and Culture Clash. He is an associate artist at South Coast Repertory Theater where he has directed over 20 productions; He is also an associate artist at ACT, The Asolo Rep, and The California Shakespeare Theater. In the bay area, his work includes, The Rainmaker, The Beard of Avon at ACT; The Birds at Berkeley Rep, Private Lives, Twelfth Night and Richard III at Calshakes, Luminescence Dating (with ACT) and The Joan Rivers Theater Project at The Magic, and ten productions at Shakespeare Santa Cruz. His feature film, Die Mommie Die! won a special grand jury prize at The Sundance Film Festival. David Greenspan is an award winning American actor and playwright. In 1997 he received an Obie Award for his work in the off-broadway revival of Boys in the Band. An alumnus of New Dramatists, he has received playwriting fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Jerome Foundation, Joyce Mertz-Gilmore Foundation and Charles Revson Foundation. He received the 1993 McKnight Fellowship from the Playwrights Center, a 2002 CalArts/Alpert Awards in the Arts and a 2006 Lucille Lortel Foundation Fellowship. He holds a B.A. in Drama from the University of California at Irvine. Recent theater credits include Coraline (he also wrote the stage adaptation, based on Neil Gaiman's novel), Some Men, and The Boys in the Band, for which he was won an Obie Award and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Greenspan is currently appearing on Broadway as Jo in The Royal Family. His plays include Dead Mother (performed by Travelling Jewish Theater last season) The Myopia, Son of an Engineer, and She Stoops to Comedy. Founded by Bill English and Susi Damilano in 2003, The SF Playhouse is San Francisco's fastest growing and most awarded Theater Company and hailed as a "small delicacy" by SF Weekly, "eclectic" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian and "local theater's best kept secret" by San Francisco Magazine. Located in Union Square, The SF Playhouse offers intimate, professional theatre with top notch actors and world class design. It has received multiple awards for overall productions, acting and design including the SF Weekly Best Theatre Award, Bay Guardian's Best Off-Broadway Theatre Award. The San Francisco Chronicle raved, "San Francisco's newest theatre isn't just another tiny stage carved out of a storefront . . . it's an enticing introduction to a new company." The SF Playhouse has quickly become the intimate theatre alternative to the traditional Union Square theatre fare, providing a creative home and inspiring environment where actors, directors, writers, designers, and theatre lovers converge to create works that celebrate the human spirit.

Reminder: Gay Shame Meetings at Modern Times @ Sat Nov 28 5:30pm - 7pm (Queer Things)
Gay Shame Meetings at Modern TimesGAY SHAME is a Virus in the System. We are committed to a queer extravaganza that brings direct action to astounding levels of theatricality. We will not be satisfied with a commercialized gay identity that denies the intrinsic links between queer struggle and challenging power. We seek nothing less than a new queer activism that foregrounds race, class, gender and sexuality, to counter the self-serving "values" of gay consumerism and the increasingly hypocritical left. We are dedicated to fighting the rabid assimilationist monster with a devastating mobilization of queer brilliance. GAY SHAME is a celebration of resistance: all are welcome. GAY SHAME meets every Saturday in the Tede Mathews Reading Room of Modern Times Bookstore @ 888 Valencia btw 19th + 20th. Meeting time is 5:30PM, which means that people begin to arrive at 5:30PM and we start the meeting no later than 5:45PM. In addition, we often hold smaller meetings throughout the week to plan specific actions and activities. http://www.gayshamesf.org

Scott Capurro (Actor) was reared in Daly City, California; at age 3, he swam the English Channel; and since 1993, he's told unsavory jokes in every English speaking country, so he's surrounded by duplicity. Yet he keeps challenging himself, because he's physically challenged and emotionally unavailable. Described by San Francisco Weekly as "stand-up in the very best possible sense - deadpan, ever-alert and hilarious", Scott has appeared in Mrs. Doubtfire, where, effortlessly, he played a homosexual; and Star Wars The Phantom Menace, where, breathlessly, he wore rubber. Scott knows Jimmy Carter and Nelson Mandela. Well, he's met Nelson once. They're both vegetarians. Actually, Nelson is. Scott said he was, to impress Nelson. Jimmy eats anything. Mark Rucker (Director) has directed at many regional theaters across the country including Yale Repertory Theater, La Jolla Playhouse, Arena Stage, The Old Globe, The Intiman Playhouse, The Taper Too, The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, The Oregon Shakespeare Festival,The Asolo Repertory Theater,The George Street Playhouse, The Old Globe, Syracuse Stage, and the Acting Company. He has directed Premieres of plays by Richard Greenberg, Christopher Shinn, Melanie Marnich, Annie Weisman, John Walch, Anna Deveare Smith, John Glore and Culture Clash. He is an associate artist at South Coast Repertory Theater where he has directed over 20 productions; He is also an associate artist at ACT, The Asolo Rep, and The California Shakespeare Theater. In the bay area, his work includes, The Rainmaker, The Beard of Avon at ACT; The Birds at Berkeley Rep, Private Lives, Twelfth Night and Richard III at Calshakes, Luminescence Dating (with ACT) and The Joan Rivers Theater Project at The Magic, and ten productions at Shakespeare Santa Cruz. His feature film, Die Mommie Die! won a special grand jury prize at The Sundance Film Festival. David Greenspan is an award winning American actor and playwright. In 1997 he received an Obie Award for his work in the off-broadway revival of Boys in the Band. An alumnus of New Dramatists, he has received playwriting fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Jerome Foundation, Joyce Mertz-Gilmore Foundation and Charles Revson Foundation. He received the 1993 McKnight Fellowship from the Playwrights Center, a 2002 CalArts/Alpert Awards in the Arts and a 2006 Lucille Lortel Foundation Fellowship. He holds a B.A. in Drama from the University of California at Irvine. Recent theater credits include Coraline (he also wrote the stage adaptation, based on Neil Gaiman's novel), Some Men, and The Boys in the Band, for which he was won an Obie Award and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Greenspan is currently appearing on Broadway as Jo in The Royal Family. His plays include Dead Mother (performed by Travelling Jewish Theater last season) The Myopia, Son of an Engineer, and She Stoops to Comedy. Founded by Bill English and Susi Damilano in 2003, The SF Playhouse is San Francisco's fastest growing and most awarded Theater Company and hailed as a "small delicacy" by SF Weekly, "eclectic" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian and "local theater's best kept secret" by San Francisco Magazine. Located in Union Square, The SF Playhouse offers intimate, professional theatre with top notch actors and world class design. It has received multiple awards for overall productions, acting and design including the SF Weekly Best Theatre Award, Bay Guardian's Best Off-Broadway Theatre Award. The San Francisco Chronicle raved, "San Francisco's newest theatre isn't just another tiny stage carved out of a storefront . . . it's an enticing introduction to a new company." The SF Playhouse has quickly become the intimate theatre alternative to the traditional Union Square theatre fare, providing a creative home and inspiring environment where actors, directors, writers, designers, and theatre lovers converge to create works that celebrate the human spirit.
