Just in time for the holidays, American Conservatory Theater offers a package of tickets to two fantastic shows -- perfect as a gift to a loved one or as a treat for yourself. January's show, Humor Abuse, is a theatrical high-wire act and love letter to the Bay Area. The show balances physical pratfalls with heartfelt recollections as a young circus performer -- the son of one of the founders of San Francisco's Pickle Family Circus -- tells the story of growing up in his father's stage trunk. February ushers in the world premiere of Higher, the story of a powerful Jewish architect who's in love with her colleague while at the same time competing against him to design a memorial in Israel. As the two roam from the sleek rooms of plush New York apartments to the muddy shores of Israel, they are stretched to the limits of creativity -- and sanity.

A.C.T. Performs Endgame and Play - A Beckett Double Bill

Full Price:: $25.00 - $79.00
Our Price:: $15.00 - $47.40

American Conservatory Theater performs a double bill of two outstanding plays from master playwright Samuel Beckett. Endgame and Play are a pair of absurd dark comedies that conjure a fiercely funny and emotionally gripping world. In Endgame, Tony Award winner Bill Irwin takes on the role of Hamm, who is trapped between life and death with his young servant, Clov. Together they engage in a chess match of wits in this vivid exploration of the end of life. This iconic work will be presented together with Beckett's rarely performed one-act Play, a brief comic tour de force about marriage and infidelity, featuring members of A.C.T.'s core acting company.

Description

About Humor Abuse
Venue: American Conservatory Theater
In this theatrical high-wire act and love letter to the Bay Area, Lorenzo Pisoni -- the youngest member of the Pickle Family Circus and son of cofounder Larry Pisoni -- tells the story of growing up (often literally) in his father's stage trunk. As he balances physical pratfalls with heartfelt recollections, Pisoni becomes "a one-man whirlwind" (WOR Radio), creating a vivid, living scrapbook of poignant memories and mesmerizing routines. Presented in association with Seattle Repertory Theatre.

About Higher
Venue: The Theater at Children's Creativity Museum (formerly Zeum Theater)
A high-powered Jewish architect, madly in love with an equally talented colleague, discovers that she is his rival in a competition to design a memorial in Israel. As they roam from the sleek rooms of plush New York apartments to the muddy shores of Israel, the two architects are stretched to the limits of their creativity—and sanity. Memory, desire, and design fuel this thrilling new work, featuring A.C.T. core acting company member René Augesen.
