We had a great kick off to the year with THEATER FOR THE INATTENTIVE last Monday at the Cafe Royale. If you missed it, or need another go to pick up all fifty pieces packed into that short hour, join us again on Monday the 24th.
THEATER FOR THE INATTENTIVE performs again on Monday, January 24, and 31 in the Cafe Royale (800 Post Street, San Francisco, at Leavenworth). 8pm curtain. Admission is free.
Back after a little winter break, the San Francisco Theater Pub prepares to kick off its 2011 season with THEATER FOR THE INATTENTIVE this Monday, January 17th at the Cafe Royale. Keeping with our commitment to exploring a wide variety of work and theatrical forms, THEATER OF THE INATTENTIVE is in a category all it’s own, as director and Theater Pub co-founder Victor Carrion explains:
“By playing these stories, a terrific cast brings us snapshots of our daily existence. Presented in less than 50 minutes, we’ll be able to enjoy the tribulations of others, but also remember our own. Simple pleasures of life and those more complex situations that make us ponder intersect each other as haiku-like stories, one page plays and small anecdotes are interwoven into a narrative trip that is hungry for your full attention. Theater for the Inattentive will make you think quickly and deeply, leaving you with plenty of time to be distracted at a later time…”
Hope that grabs your attention. See you at the bar.

If you missed that warm, fuzzy Theater Pub feeling over the holidays, fear not. We are back in action January 17 with our first show of the 2011 season: an evening of hyper short plays adapted from John Ashworth’s collection Is The Barn Still Standing? directed by Theater Pub co-founder Victor Carrion. Help us kick off our second season with an experience unlike anything you are likely to see in another theater this year.

Many thanks to everyone who made 2010 a huge success for the San Francisco Theater Pub!
This has been a tremendous first year for us. We completed 11 projects over the course of 12 months and worked with 100+ actors, directors, artists, writers and musicians! We received media coverage in Theater Bay Area Magazine, The Guardian, Words On Theater/KUSF and on numerous blogs and events listings! Our crowds ranged from full to capacity to bursting and whether it was original work, classic Greek tragedy or modern drama we found our audience to be supportive and ready to let us play and push our own boundaries!
