This is your chance to, quite literally, hang out with the coolest cats in town. San Jose's The Dancing Cat is a creative space for people, and sometimes adoptable cats are able to get in on the human interaction.

Dazzling dialogue and larger-than-life characters make this farce every bit as fun today as when it was first penned by Noël Coward back in 1939. "Present Laughter" follows several days in the life of self-obsessed actor Garry Essendine. Juggling his considerable talent, ego and libido, Garry prepares for an extended overseas trip in the midst of his worsening mid-life crisis. And soon his plans are further complicated by his wife, a beautiful ingenue, his agents and a number of starstruck admirers. Crazed playwrights, secret trysts, unexpected twists — it's all part of the farcical fun when "Present Laughter" comes to Pear Theatre in Mountain View. [less-]

"One Man, Two Guvnors" at Palo Alto Players is a hilarious farce playing at the Lucie Stern Theater in Palo Alto. It’s London in the swinging 60’s, and recently canned (and desperately hungry) Francis Henshall finds himself newly employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe, in town to collect a fee from his fiancee's gangster father. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers (her brother's killer) who, in turn, becomes our hero's other “guvnor.” Fighting a mounting sense of confusion, Francis goes out of his way to serve both bosses. But with the distractions of a pneumatic bookkeeper, a self-important actor, and select members of the criminal fraternity (not to mention his own mammoth appetite) to contend with, how long can he keep them apart? "One Man, Two Guvnors" is a hilarious, music-infused farce, and one of the best- received comedies in modern theater. [less-]

Young, tattooed and undeniably hip, Cindy Kaza is about as far from the traditional fortuneteller stereotype as you can get. But the differences aren't just cosmetic. Unlike other psychics who channel tantalizing but vague messages from beyond, Kaza "brings through" extremely specific evidence like names, personality traits and favorite phrases of those now on the other side. Trained at the famed Arthur Findlay School of Intuitive Sciences in England, Kaza claims to be not only clairvoyant (clear seeing), but also clairaudient (clear hearing) and clairsentient (clear feeling). All three unique gifts will be on display in a moving and thrilling presentation at the San Jose Improv. [less-]

Venetian gondoliers Marco and Giuseppe marry contadine Gianetta and Tessa, then learn that one of them is the King of Barataria. The only problem is, no one in Venice knows which of them is the King. "The Gondoliers" was Gilbert and Sullivan's last great success. By setting the work comfortably far away from England, in Venice, Gilbert was emboldened to sharpen his satire at the nobility and the monarchy itself, making for sparkling humor we can still enjoy today. And the libretto inspired Sullivan to write some of this brightest and most melodic music. [less-]

Improv is comedy without a net, where daredevil performers depend not only on the audience for suggestions, but also on their fellow performers for support and Lady Luck for inspiration. Done right, it's not just hilarious -- it's astonishing. The American Improv Theatre (AIT) Players do it right. Come laugh and marvel as the Players spin entire scenes from suggestions. The show begins with some silly, quick-moving improv games (Think "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"). Then the Players raise the stakes with longer, more connected scenes so good they seem scripted. But they're not: Everything that happens at Black Cat Licorice Theater is discovered in the moment. [less-]
