Over our decades of making local theatre The Shotgun Players have come across some great performers from the Bay Area’s delicious subculture: solo artists, comedians, and wildly innovative performance collectives to name a few. It hasn’t always been easy to find a place for these inspiring performers in our mainstage season, but sometimes we have available nights and the bar is always open!

This summer Shotgun presents some bonus programming that combines the intriguing work of these exciting theatre artists into a month-long showcase from July 23 – August 19.

Red Diaper Baby

A coming-of-age story about a boy being raised by Jewish Communists in New York City. Josh has been told by his parents that he will grow up to lead a Communist revolution in the United States. This plan starts to break down in kindergarten, and only gets worse in high school. Complicating matters are Josh’s less-than-heroic first attempts to lose his virginity. Will he find success first with Communism or sex? And what does “The Internationale” have to do with it?

  • Runtime: 1 hour and 45 minutes, with one intermission.

THIS SHOW INCLUDES MATURE THEMES AND IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN.
