Hosted by SF Neo-Futurists

1 events

In this 45-minute interactive performance, you'll dive into a telephonic wormhole that takes the universal experience of navigating an automated phone tree to its most absurd and hilarious extremes. But don't worry: there's an operator standing by. We have a special $10 discount available for artists, students, and low-income individuals. Use the code COMMUNITY when selecting your tickets to gain access to the discounted ticket price! As a reminder, this is a one-on-one immersive performance. We will email you a phone number and access code the afternoon of your scheduled performance. You will only be able to access the phone line at your appointed start time. Please also note that The Program can only be accessed via US phone numbers. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out! You can contact us at TheProgramSF@gmail.com We look forward to your call.

No Proscenium's Review

Imagine if, say, the interactive voice agent controlling said phone tree was a bit lonely, or jealous, or perhaps even… possessive. I’d say more about The Program but that it would rob potential listeners of the joy of discovering its surreal and twisted telephonic world on their own....Read More

About SF Neo-Futurists

The San Francisco Neo-Futurists are a collective of wildly productive writer/director/performers who premiere new works onstage every Friday and Saturday night, 50 weekends out of the year, at PianoFight in San Francisco. We’re one of three sister companies in the United States that perform Neo-Futurist work. Our work is non-illusory (meaning: we don’t ask you to suspend your disbelief), rooted in chance and chaos, and seeks to directly respond to the world around us. Our performances also changes from week to week: we randomly cut between 2 and 12 plays from the menu each week to be replaced the following weekend. Even though our work is ever-changing, the one thing (OK, so two things) we can say for certain is that every single week, we will bring you new plays that reflect on the world around us, and we hope you'll come see them.
