Monkeying around at the SF Theater Festival

Three Wise Monkeys LOVED contributing to the San Francisco Theater Festival today! What a treat to do our two pieces on The Forum stage to a packed, standing-room only sold out house.

More than 600 eyes savored Pamela Davis' delightful and sharp comedy MAYBE TOV and Crish Barth's erudite comedy SAVE THE DATE. People howled and clapped, snickered and sucked in their breath at all the right moments. It was incredibly wonderful!

A BIG thank you to Cooper Carlson, Pamela Davis and Joe Scheppers for donating their time and energy to creating such a spirited program. Also, thank you to Ben Fisher for working as an associate producer today, helping us out with last minute needs. Lastly, THANK YOU to the SF Theater Festival and our lovely stage manager Victoria Swift.

3WM has always thought that theater should have the crazy, palpable energy you feel when you walk into a rock concert or a sporting event....and today...we got it!

Looking forward to creating more sharp, funny, well-crafted stories for the stage.

See you in just a couple of months for our annual fundraiser, Short Leaps, featuring 7 BRAND NEW 10-minute plays by Bay Area playwrights!

Three Wise Monkeys presents at the 2009 San Francisco Theatre Festival.

Join us at Yerba Buena Gardens Sunday July 26th at The Forum Stage at 3:25 for two funny, clever short plays by talented Bay Area playwrights.

Maybe Tov by Pamela Davis.
What happens when you aren't sure if you proposed or not, and if your maybe-bride accepted? A comical look at our failure to communicate.

Save the Date by Crish Barth
When Rachel discovers that Paul isn't the guy he suggested he was on his online dating profile, things get a little hairy.

Directed by new Three Wise Monkey Artistic Director Jessica Holt with Cooper Carlson, Joe Scheppers and Pamela Davis.
