Dance Comedy LIFE IN TROUBLE to Play PianoFight, 8/5-7

Life in Trouble is a coming of age comedy about a young man growing up in the mid 90's, battling the times, his circumstances, and cultural perceptions while pursuing his dream of becoming a profession artist. The show tracks the changes we've all seen in the Bay Area, and the nation, over the last twenty year: rising rents, changing neighborhoods, and racial tensions with police. It's blend of comedy, drama, video, and dance. It features members of the SF sketch comedy group Mission CTRL, alongside professional dancers, and other guest artists. Life in Trouble runs Aug 5-7 at PianoFight, 144 Taylor st., SF.

"Life in Trouble is the show I've always wanted to create and the most personal show I've written to date", says creator and choreographer, Btroubles. "Its life imitating art and art imitating life. I wanted the show to be full of humor, fun, empathy, depth, compassion, and every other human emotion. It's also carefully crafted to play out like a really dope classic record, heavily music driven with a lot of soul. I guess Life in Trouble is a story of the human experience that may or may not be autobiographical. But one thing is for sure and that is this show GOES!!!!"
