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.
Sea of Reeds: The Second Parting (A Work-In-Progress Improv)
- Performed by Josh Kornbluth
What do Judaism and oboe-playing have in common? Reeds! The Israelites needed a miracle to make their way across the Sea of Reeds, and it will take a miracle for Josh to make even one playable reed so he can play an important Bach piece on his oboe. The original production of Sea of Reeds, commissioned by the Shotgun Players, had Josh joined onstage by several other actor-musicians. This improvised performance is Josh’s first attempt to adapt the show into a touring solo piece — and also to try out new material. Be prepared: the sawdust will be flying!
- Runtime: Approximately 90 minutes, with no intermission
Ashby Stage Sidewalk Session
Live pre-show music! Join us at 4 PM before Sea of Reeds for an Ashby Stage Sidewalk Session, featuring musician and actor Josh Pollock. Grab a drink at concessions and head outside to enjoy free live music before The Second Parting.
