Best of SF Fringe Festival Returns to EXIT Theatre in November

The Fringe has staying power. While three "Best of Fringe" shows closed the 22nd Annual San Francisco Fringe Festival with encore performances on September 21, four more "Best of" shows will return every weekend in November. Audiences will have the opportunity to see what they missed - or want to see again.

The three "Best of the Fringe" shows that played on closing night were truly audience favorites, judging by their being sold out for nearly every one of their performances. They were

O Best Beloved by Joan Howard and Rebecca Longworth.

Fish-girl by Siouxsie Q and Sean Andries.

The Tipped and the Tipsy by Jill Vice.

The four "Best of" shows returning in November will play two performances each, on Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 pm at EXIT Theatre. All of them drew rave reviews during the Fringe Festival. They are

• Genie and Audrey's Dream Show by Gina Cartier and Audrey Spinazola
• 52 Letters by Regina Y. Evans
• Memphis on My Mind by Rebecca Fisher
• Eating Pasta Off the Floor by Maria Grazia Affinito

return for 2 performances each

GENIE AND AUDREY'S DREAM SHOW!

8PM NOV 1 & NOV 2, 2013
EXIT Studio, 156 Eddy St, SF

"Genie and Audrey's Dream Show!" depicts the silly, erratic dream logic of a night's slumber utilizing circus arts such as acrobatics, juggling, and clowning, as well as poetry, dance and music. The result is a strange and unique show about the many meanings of the word "dream," the influence of pop culture on the subconscious, and the friendship between two women. All ages!

52 LETTERS

8PM NOV 8 & NOV 9, 2013
EXIT Studio, 156 Eddy St, SF

52 Letters is a one-woman poetic stage play designed to bring awareness to the horrific and brutalizing circumstances surrounding sex trafficking and its affects upon American youth and women. Written and performed by Regina Y. Evans, co-directed by Regina Y. Evans and Louel Senores, acting stage manager, Louel Senores.

MEMPHIS ON MY MIND

8PM NOV 15 & NOV 16, 2013
EXIT Studio, 156 Eddy St, SF

Sarah Mackey started working for the White Rose Laundry down in Memphis, TN when she was 18. The boss asked her to work in the home as one of the family maids. That boss was Rebeca's grandfather. Two generations later, that the relationship continues. And today, Sarah's grandson needs Rebecca's help. Written and performed by Rebecca Fisher.

EATING PASTA OFF THE FLOOR

8PM NOV 22 & NOV 23, 2013
EXIT Studio, 156 Eddy St, SF

Maria hopes a trip with her mom, to her mom's home town in Italy will shed some light on their volatile relationship. Maybe singing arias at full voice in Safeway and offering to sell your daughter are just quaint Old World traditions. But even old friends in Italy are astonished when mom starts flinging pasta and bad poetry. Written and performed by Maria Grazia Affinito.
