Who would have believed that 70 people would get out of bed by noon to join the audience at San Francisco's premier showcase of performing oddballs and misfits?
We did.
Here are some photos from Sunday, May 23, by D. Rita Alfonso.
We reached artistic director Sara Moore by satellite phone at her secure bunker in Barbados. We asked her if she had been pleased with the show. Her response:
"Thrilled is an understatement. SUNDAY AT SOMArts, Barbary Coast Amusements' first event, was a smash hit and the non-stop mash-up of crazy-brilliant performers blew the lid off the joint! The entire show had the feel of a midnight happy hour--only at High Noon. Every single performer was at the top of their game and all were greeted by the most vivacious audience whose energy nearly exceeded theirs, which was not easy! Even The Clownteuse overcame her chronic timidity and managed to emcee as well as sing! And in homage to The Pickles and Make-A-Circus, there was a huge audience dance-a-thon at the end and a ridiculous time was had by all! BCA is off to an auspicious, relentlessly hysterical start and we are stoked beyond words for the Sunday, June 20th show!"
