SF Neo-Futurists

30 original plays in 60 minutes, ranging from the personal, to the political, to the profoundly WTF, all truthful and inspired by the lived experiences of the performers.

Every Friday & Saturday, 9:00 PM. See the show the SF Chronicle calls one of "22 San Francisco things everyone must do!”

We’re taking a lil staycation in February and will be performing The Infinite Wrench at the ECLECTIC BOX, a new venue at 446 Valencia St in the Mission, one block from 16th St Mission BART! Come see us there every Friday & Saturday in February. Shows at Eclectic Box will begin 10:00 PM.

We’ll return to our home venue 447 Minna in March.


WHAT’S NEW AND DIFFERENT?

 
 
 

We love it. We need it. We just can’t stay away. That’s right, we’re bringing back our annual favorite specialty show, Heart Wrench: A Valentine’s edition of The Infinite Wrench. We’ve picked 30 of our favorite plays about romantic, platonic, best friendship, monogamous, polyamorous, will-they-won’t-they, and we-refuse-to-define-what-this-is love and we’re cramming it all into 60 hot and bothered minutes. What can we say? We’re feeling flirty.

This year, we couldn’t limit ourselves to just one side of the bay: Join us for shows on February 9 and 10 at the Eclectic Box in San Francisco or on February 14 at Shotgun Players in Berkeley. Whichever night you choose, we promise we’re one of the best date nights in town. See you there. 😘

We’re excited to celebrate 10 years of making immediate, participatory theatre that speaks directly to the lived experiences of our communities, strengthens the bond between performer and audience, and makes the stage a continuation of daily life. Thank you for being right there with us for all of it!

WHAT THEY SAY WHEN THEY SAY OUR NAME

Press quotes about the San Francisco Neo-Futurists

Screen Shot 2019-12-26 at 2.00.07 PM.png

“For their ferocious commitment to the new, their openness to the imagination, their unvarnished honesty and can-do pep, they’re an underground power generator in an art form no one should ever deride as ‘dying’ so long as they’re fighting the seconds ticking by.”
– Lily Janiak (SF Chronicle)

“Each night will have a tiny play that makes you cry, howl with laughter, question your assumptions and feel a little uncomfortable.”
– Heather Robinson (Broke Ass Stuart)
