DYLAN MORAN LIVE!
with special guest Barry Murphy

Uncensored, uncut and as unpredictable as ever, Irish comedian Dylan Moran brings his hilarious, oxygen-depriving show DYLAN MORAN LIVE!to San Francisco for one night only! Called "the Oscar Wilde of Comedy," by the London Evening News, Moran is universally considered one of the foremost comics of his generation. With his unpredictable, bizarre and often cruel (but painfully funny) comedy, Moran sees through the joys and disappointments of human existence with the sensibility and intense perception of a man teetering on the edge. DYLAN MORAN LIVE! is presented by WestBeth Entertainment. The show is presented Saturday, September 11 at 8pm. All tickets are $36.

San Francisco Mime Troupe
presents a benefit performance of
POSIBILIDAD, or Death of the Worker

The Tony-Award winning San Francisco Mime Troupe return to the Marines' Memorial Theatre
with their brand-new production, POSIBILIDAD, or Death of the Worker. A small U.S. Factory is shutting down. As the Workers leave the Factory for the last time, the situation escalates and before anyone has a chance to think, they have accidentally occupied the Factory! Parallel plights of American and Argentine Workers play out in this modern tale of two factories,
telenovelas, and tango.

Founded in 1959, the San Francisco Mime Troupe creates and produces socially relevant theater;
despite the name "mime," their work is not silent, but live musical comedy and political satire. The show is presented Friday, September 17 at 8pm. All tickets are $29.
