Field Trips

I'd like to recommend two plays, both at the Marsh. I was looking at our attending the Dan Hoyle play, next week, Wednesday, July 14, 2010. The Marsh is on the BART route; we could meet at a central BART station and go together.

The second play is also one I recommend. We can talk about dates.

The Marsh is proud to announce the world premiere of Dan Hoyle's new solo show, THE REAL AMERICANS. After traveling the globe for his first play, "Circumnavigator," and studying Nigerian oil politics for his third, "Tings Dey Happen," this time Hoyle is back in the United States, turning his eye and ear on America's culture wars. Fleeing the liberal bubble of San Francisco and his hipster friends, Hoyle spent 100 days traveling through small-town America in search of some tough country wisdom and a way to bridge America's urban/rural divide. Instead, Hoyle found himself immersed in the populist anger of the people whom Sarah Palin famously described as "The Real Americans" and awed at the disconnect between Obama Nation and Palin Country. Portrayed with humor, sympathy, confusion, angst and song, this vivid performance challenges the audience to move beyond their bafflement and engage with the future of a politically polarized America.

THE MARSH Berkeley Extends DON REED'S EAST 14th - TRUE TALES OF A RELUCTANT PLAYER Through August 1, 2010

EAST 14TH chronicles the true tale of a young man raised by his mother and ultra-strict stepfather as a middle class, straight A, God-fearing church boy. The boy, however, wanted to be just like his dear old Dad. Too bad he didn't know dear old Dad was a pimp. Very funny, definitely poignant — a ride down a street you won't soon forget. The San Francisco Chronicle described Reed as an "Irresistible presence," and the East Bay Express declared the show ‘...Nothing short of amazing." The show is a best Bay Area Critics Circle Award Solo Performance nominee.

The Marsh, a breeding ground for new performance, is delighted to announce that Don Reed's EAST 14TH - TRUE TALES OF A RELUCTANT PLAYER has been extended at The Marsh Berkeley through August 1, 2010. The show has now entered its second sold-out year –it started at The Marsh San Francisco in May, 2009! – and its thirteenth extension. Reed, who is the comedian/warm-up host for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno during the week, is delighted to be spending his weekends performing on his home turf in the East Bay.

Due to events already scheduled at The Marsh Berkeley, the show will play on different days of the weekend. For exact dates see below. When playing on Fridays, the show will start at 9:00 pm, on Saturdays at 8:00 pm and on Sundays at 7:00 pm. All shows take place at The Marsh Berkeley, 2120 Allston Way in Berkeley. For tickets, the public may call Brown Paper Tickets at 800-838-3006 or visit www.themarsh.org .
