Off-Market Theater
The Off-Market Theater consists of two small black-box spaces, which have played host to "nomadic" theater companies, sketch and improv groups, spoken-word artists and musicians.
Off-Market Theater (San Francisco, CA)
Chicken Scratch is the rough-and-tumble mixture of a current child star, a software engineer, a Bay Area native, a corporate whore, a local teacher who reads, a local teacher who loves Duran Duran, a hot New York Jew, a frustrating actor and an aspiring lawyer. This potent combination hits the stage with fast comedy, memorable characters and never-before-seen performances.

Very funny people. They work well together. A few technical problems, but the actors had fun with it regardless. Some moments went on too long and others not long enough. I enjoyed some of the pre0written pieces as well as the improv. Overall, a good laugh, and a good time.

Surprisingly good. Fun actors (the girls were awesome, the guys were ok). When we got there, it looked like it would be a dismal show since there were 5 audience members and about 6-7 cast members. Well, we were fortunately wrong. Funny skits and good improv.

Not my cup of tea.

The Audacity of Chicken show has it all! The members of Chicken Scratch improvise, perform hilarious sketches, sing and dance...they're a quadruple threat! Children and dogs love Chicken Scratch, yet the troupe prefers to have adults in the audience. They smell great most of the time. And they're ready to entertain you.
