PRODUCER: 6th Street Playhouse proudly presents
WHAT: Solofest of the West This new annual series presented in the 6th Street Playhouse Studio Theatre starts off with a bang, showcasing stories from the most popular solo playwrights and performers in the Bay Area. – “Wretch Like Me” – A totally righteous one-sinner-show. The outrageous, true story of a former teenage fundamentalist and how he was saved from being “saved” was the 2010 Stage One Theater Arts Award winner For Best Origin
al Show. Infused with entertaining cultural and social references from 1960s & ’70s, David Templeton’s autobiographical episodic adventure about being teenager searching for the meaning of life as a born-again Christian is charming, haunting, thought provoking and hilariously funny. Sunday matinee performances include post-show discussion with writer-performer David Templeton. – “Chicken” – Matthew Kerns stars is this solo piece about one man’s story of life, liberty and the pursuit of healthiness in the shadow of HIV. Can peanut butter, show tunes,and a chain-smoking mother be the answer? Named “Critiques Choice,” by The Chicago Reader and proclaimed “A Must See!” by National Public Radio. – “The Weight Game” – Sarah Abbey dares to tip the scales with this war on weight issues. Featuring the battle of the bulge, the Scarsdale Diet Revolution and the Victory at Clothing Closet. The secret weapon in this engagement is an eating disorder. Body beautiful or barfing beauty, who will be the victor? Goldstar Reviews weighed in with “I spent the best part of an hour laughing at myself for the things I could relate to, as did my companion and most others.” Solofest of the West is rated PG-13 for adult language and themes.
