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.

The Bottomless Bowl

Josh was Artist-in-Residence at the Zen Hospice Project, and then volunteered at the hospice for several years. This improvised work-in-progress will include stories from his experiences there, as he grappled with the long-ago passing of his father and learned invaluable lessons about life and death from the hospice’s residents, volunteers, and staff members. The Bottomless Bowl is about Josh’s attempts to come to terms with his own finite existence while also somehow connecting with the infinite. It’s also about making sure the residents got exactly what they wanted to eat!

  • Runtime: Approximately 90 minutes, with no intermission
