Marin Theatre presents the West Coast Premiere of “Sally & Tom.” Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks, known for her acclaimed works about American history “Topdog/Underdog” and “Father Comes Home From the Wars,” sets the stage with the metatheatrical story of a fictional up-and-coming theatre company rehearsing a play about Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. As opening night approaches, playwright Luce is struggling with rewrites and pressure from a producer about how to frame the relationship between the third president and the woman he enslaved. Luce also stars as Sally, while Tom is played by Mike, her romantic partner and the production’s director. The past and present collide in this electrifying exploration of artistic authenticity, history, power, and truth. “Sally & Tom” made its World Premiere at The Guthrie Theatre before performing Off-Broadway at The Public Theater.

San Francisco Playhouse presents Michael Frayn’s rollicking backstage comedy “Noises Off.” Full of slapstick silliness and choreographed chaos, this uproarious comedy follows a dysfunctional British theatre troupe struggling to stage the door-slamming farce “Nothing On”. The drama rages both onstage and behind the scenes as missed cues, misplaced props, and romantic entanglements cause their production to descend into madcap mayhem. The New York Post deemed “Noises Off” “the funniest farce ever written” while The New York Times lauded it as “a festival of delirium. Spectacularly funny. The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy.”.

Marin Theatre presents the West Coast Premiere of “Sally & Tom.” Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks, known for her acclaimed works about American history “Topdog/Underdog” and “Father Comes Home From the Wars,” sets the stage with the metatheatrical story of a fictional up-and-coming theatre company rehearsing a play about Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. As opening night approaches, playwright Luce is struggling with rewrites and pressure from a producer about how to frame the relationship between the third president and the woman he enslaved. Luce also stars as Sally, while Tom is played by Mike, her romantic partner and the production’s director. The past and present collide in this electrifying exploration of artistic authenticity, history, power, and truth. “Sally & Tom” made its World Premiere at The Guthrie Theatre before performing Off-Broadway at The Public Theater.
