While college basketball teams are competing to see who is the best team in the nation in March Madness, local performers will play for glory in The Marsh’s "Marsh Madness." This three-day festival brings a wide variety of performers center stage, including storytellers, improv groups, comedians, actors, musicians, dancers, mimes, and monologists. Audiences of "Marsh Madness" also have the chance to help select future stars, as the team that wins first prize will receive $1,000 and the opportunity to perform a main stage run at The Marsh, one of the nation’s leading performance houses for solo and new performances.
Audiences vote for their favorite teams and each team is scored based on votes and attendance. The top scoring teams will advance to the “Final Four Showdown” on Sunday, March 11. Teams will perform in 40 minute slots. For more information about the performances, please visit https://themarsh.org/marsh-madness/marsh-madness-tickets/ or call 415-282-3055 (Monday through Friday, 1-4pm).
$10 for individual tickets for March 9 & 10 performances, $20 for individual tickets for March 11 performances, $50 team registration fee, $150 Marsh Madness Festival Pass
