Bay Area favorites Sean Keane and Alex Koll co-headline the San Francisco Punch Line and reunite with fellow alumni of The Business SF: Bucky Sinister, Anna Seregina and Chris Thayer. Sean Keane has written for "Another Period, Billy On The Street", and Audible, and produced an episode of The Comedy Show Show for Seeso. He’s performed in festivals like Bridgetown, RIOT LA, and SF Sketchfest, and his writing has appeared in "ESPN the Magazine, McSweeney’s", and "Yardbarker". In 2014, the "SF Bay Guardian" named him the best comedian in San Francisco, then immediately went out of business. Alex Koll’s measured absurdism has appeared on TBS, HBO, Comedy Central and stages all over the country. His album "Wizard Hello" is currently available on iTunes. “As you might expect, given his bizarre online trail, his standup is influenced by the nonsequitur-laden absurdism of Mitch Hedberg and Zach Galifianakis. But what makes Koll's act special is how he bridges the gulf between askew alt-comedy and grounded, observational humor. It's a rare quality in the alternative-comedy community, where many are intent on out-quirking one another. Whether going on obscure tangents or offering up more straightforward observations, Koll's comic voice is his own," says the "SF Weekly". [less-]

"Kill Move Paradise" gives voice to the black men killed solely because of the fear of the color of their skin. From playwright James Ijames: "[The play] takes the Elysium of Greek antiquity and flips the script. Set in a netherworld prepared for its newly deceased inhabitants, we follow Isa, Daz, Grif and Tiny as they try to make sense of the world they have been 'untimely ripped' from and this new paradise they now inhabit. Inspired by recent events, "Kill Move Paradise" gives a portrait of the slain, not as degenerates who deserved death, but as heroes who demand we see them for the splendid beings they are.” [less-]

1863, Italy: In a remote military outpost, a handsome army captain, separated from his beautiful (but married) mistress, is forced to reevaluate his thoughts on love when he becomes the object of the obsessive, unrelenting passions of Fosca, his Colonel’s plain, sickly cousin. From the brilliant mind of Stephen Sondheim ("Sweeney Todd", "Into the Woods") comes this emotionally charged chamber musical, which has steadily earned a reputation as one of Stephen Sondheim’s most deeply emotional works. Intimate and erotic, it explores the line between love and obsession, power and manipulation. Now "Passion" makes its long-awaited San Francisco debut at Custom Made's intimate theater, which has had recent hits with "Into the Heights", "Man of La Mancha" and "Chess" (Best Production, Bay Area Critic's Circle). Don't miss the opportunity to see this rarely produced masterpiece. [less-]
