MOTHER'S DAY Sunday, May 9 2:00 & 7:00 WHERE The Shelton Theater 533 Sutter Street (nr Powell) San Francisco You screwed up last Mother's Day. Who knew the coupon for five free hugs expired after kindergarten?! You didn't expect that half-price chocolate to give her food poisoning. Since when do cashmere sweaters cause people to have allergic reactions! This year, let us do the work for you. Our aptly titled solo performance showcase, "See Mom, I Didn't Forget!" is fully equipped with pieces to make both of you laugh hysterically, remember the craziness, and the love. We celebrate the complicated relationship of you and Mom. If the two of you are on the outs, live in separate hemispheres, planets, or dimensions (literally or figuratively), bring someone else! And enjoy an afternoon( or evening) of familial craziness that doesn't star your family for a change. THE PERFORMERS JULIA JACKSON rides the roller-coaster world of adoption in "I Didn't Sign Up For This!" This comic and solo artist has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has worked with Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, and Paul Mooney. THAO P. NGUYEN is a solo performer who was featured as a closing act at the SF 2009 Theater Festival. In "Fortunate Daughter," she wakes up on a good morning in Vietnam, dons her full-metal jacket and goes deer hunting on Hamburger Hill. Later, her mother takes her to meet her grandmother for the first time. ZAHRA NOORBAKHSH is a solo artist and stand-up comedian who has performed with Maz Jobrani from the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour. She's struggling to figure out what will save her and her mother from the fiery pits of hell in "Hijab or Hammer-pants?"

PAOLO SAMBRANO is a solo artist and was the lead producer of the short film, "Elements," nominated for a Golden Gate Award at the 2005 SF International Film Festival. In "Bi-Poseur," assuming Paolo doesn't kill himself first, the blood clot in his leg will. But before all that, he has to deal with uncooperative Playstation controllers, Bay Area prep schools, his mother's death, and his quest for the perfect suicide note (otherwise, why do it?). It was the warrior and philosopher, Mr. T, who imparted the poetic sentiment: "Mother. There is no other. So TREAT HER RIGHT!" Don't miss your chance to say, " "See Mom, I Didn't Forget!"
