Larry Hankin's STREET STORIES at The Marsh
Friday, 01 June, 2012
|The San Francisco Improv Festival, in association with The Marsh, presents Larry Hankin in “Larry Hankin’s Street Stories”
Larry Hankin, actor and a founding member of legendary San Francisco improvisational theater troupe, The Committee, will be returning to the city for two nights of solo performance of his critically acclaimed show “Larry Hankin's Street Stories,” June 1st & 2nd, 2012. The San Francisco Improv Festival and The Marsh are pleased to bring Hankin and his decades of theatrical and film talent back to San Francisco. The one-man show was the basis for his Oscar-nominated short film “Sollyʼs Diner” and was last performed in San Francisco in the 90s, though recently it has been enjoyed by audiences in Venice, CA.
“The feeling Iʼm going for is sort of like if Lord Buckley and Brʼer Rabbit smoked a joint together and started telling each othersʼ stories,” Hankin said. “The stories and stuff were always written to be told in front of a live audience. A live audience is an amazing thing.”
The show originally opened at the Met Theatre in Hollywood and received plaudits from the LA Weekly, the Daily News and the LA Times, which called the show “…a Don Quixote for modern times.”
This show is 65 minutes with no intermission and is intended for audiences aged 15 and up. All seating, save the $50 reserved seating, is general admission and on a pay-what-you-can sliding scale.
