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.

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?

Leapin’ lizards! The 6th Street Playhouse pulls Little Orphan Annie straight from the newspaper comics with all the favorite characters and a set design that brings the comic strip to life with its presentation of the beloved Broadway musical “Annie.”

One of Broadway’s beloved musicals, “Annie” is based on the 1930’s comic strip, featuring the spunky depression-era orphan, “Little Orphan Annie.”

Follow Annie’s adventures when she runs away from the orphanage and sets out to find her parents who abandoned her years ago on a doorstep in New York City. Along the way Annie adopts a lovable mutt named Sandy and eventually finds a happy family life at the home of billionaire Oliver Warbucks. “Annie” won the Tony Award for Best Musical with its memorable songs “Tomorrow” and “It’s the Hard-Knock Life.”
