Charley, the deputy mayor of New York, and his wife Myra Brock, on the evening of their tenth wedding anniversary, had an elegant dinner party which goes histrically wrong. Four couples arrive expecting a night of sophistication—only to discover the host has had a terrible mishap and his wife is missing. Desperate to cover up the scandal, they spin wilder and wilder stories, turning confusion into chaos as rumors fly faster than champagne corks. With a niche fit, a whiplash, mitigated jealousy, a recurring back spasm, comedy ensues. Brimming with razor-sharp wit, slapstick mishaps, and Simon's trademark charm, Rumors is a laugh-out-loud comedy that proves the truth may be the funniest thing of all. less

Additional tickets may be available for purchase at the door. Show Description Balinese scooters. Portuguese military installations. Brazilian waxes. Indian ashrams. Serbian kitesurfers. A secret tantra party. A deadbeat baby daddy. A planetary death doula. A Rube Goldberg joke factory. The last plane to Lisbon before the world shuts down. Safety-ism. Presbyopia. Cyborgs. Incels in service to the Goddess. Shade grown coffee. Ego dissolution Cervical orgasms. And the slow realization that enlightenment doesn’t get you very far. Alicia Dattner’s new show is farm-to-funnybone, post-apocalyptic, biodynamic artisanal comedy — for the spiritually adventurous and existentially exhausted. Artist Biography Raised in an extremely liberal branch of Judaism known as an ashram (that’s a joke), Alicia’s spiritual roots – and propensity for poking fun at them – go deep. Alicia did her first standup set at 18 and graduated from Hampshire College with a degree in standup comedy and filmmaking. Mentored by several talented comedians over the years, including W. Kamau Bell (CNN, FX), Eugene Mirman (Flight of the Conchords), and Bill Santiago (Comedy Central), she’s been rocking clubs like The Improv and Gotham Comedy Club, playing in San Francisco, New York, London, Hollywood, Honolulu, Bali, and Bombay.

Charley, the deputy mayor of New York, and his wife Myra Brock, on the evening of their tenth wedding anniversary, had an elegant dinner party which goes histrically wrong. Four couples arrive expecting a night of sophistication—only to discover the host has had a terrible mishap and his wife is missing. Desperate to cover up the scandal, they spin wilder and wilder stories, turning confusion into chaos as rumors fly faster than champagne corks. With a niche fit, a whiplash, mitigated jealousy, a recurring back spasm, comedy ensues. Brimming with razor-sharp wit, slapstick mishaps, and Simon's trademark charm, Rumors is a laugh-out-loud comedy that proves the truth may be the funniest thing of all. less

Set in a near-future world where AI increasingly determines access to medical treatment, the story follows Youngwoo, a brilliant developer who dreams of building a fairer healthcare system through an emergency triage algorithm called "The Liver." Driven by the desire to create a world where no one is denied care because of wealth or social status, he pours everything into his work—until ambition, opportunity, and the promise of success lead him into the orbit of the powerful Yonggung Group. As efficiency becomes the ultimate metric and human lives are reduced to data points, Youngwoo is forced to confront a devastating question: when algorithms decide who deserves to live, what happens to compassion, dignity, and human warmth? Blending humor, emotional storytelling, and original music, The Liver explores the cost of innovation and the moral weight of progress, inviting audiences to reflect on what should never be optimized away. Presented by ESKAPE, a music community within Bay Area K-Group, this production is created by Korean-American professionals and community members passionate about music, storytelling, and cultural expression. Bay Area K-Group is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering connection, growth, and community among Korean-American professionals in the Bay Area. This event is 1 hour and 40 minutes long, including one 15 minute intermission, and is appropriate for all ages.

"It was a theater, dance, music and literature festival and the theme was the rise of fascism in Europe. They asked me to do a two hour talk on the relationship of government and love. I don’t often get assignments, but this one was irresistible. Since then, this talk has taken several forms, all called The Republic of Love. The Republic of Love with Sexmob and guests is a collection of songs and stories about the current state of America, with some history thrown in. It features several of my songs– among them Big Science and Language Is A Virus– that have new meanings in 2026. It also features the words and thoughts of many Americans from Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, John Cage, Gertrude Stein, William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. The Republic of Love is a celebration of freedom.” Laurie Anderson is a writer, director, composer, visual artist, musician, and vocalist whose groundbreaking work spans art, theater, experimental music, and technology. She has created numerous multimedia stage performances, published ten books, and been nominated for five Grammy Awards, with her visual art exhibited globally at institutions including the Hirsh horn Museum in Washington, DC, and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. In 2021 she delivered the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard University, Spending the War Without You: Virtual Backgrounds. In 2024 she premiered ARK: United States Part 5 at Factory International in Manchester, released her studio album Amelia on Nonesuch Records, and was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as well as the Gold Medal for Music from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She currently has two installations at Biennale Arte 2026: In Minor Keys in Venice, Italy. Her latest album, Let X=X , was released in May 2026. less

While widely known for his career in professional skiing and filmmaking, his creative foundation is rooted in visual art; vivid, dreamlike compositions that channel movement, music, and the spirit of the outdoors. In 2025, he created the official 60th Anniversary logo for the Grateful Dead and directed and produced “Mountains of the Moon,” a multi-year immersive project blending film, painting, animation, music, and transforming landscapes with light. He and his wife, Kimmy Fasani, also started The Benchetler Fasani Foundation, providing a meaningful connection to the outdoors for those experiencing hardship and loss. As well as opened Wind Drift Studios, a gallery and community space dedicated to showcasing art and cultivating creative connection in Mammoth. less

Charley, the deputy mayor of New York, and his wife Myra Brock, on the evening of their tenth wedding anniversary, had an elegant dinner party which goes histrically wrong. Four couples arrive expecting a night of sophistication—only to discover the host has had a terrible mishap and his wife is missing. Desperate to cover up the scandal, they spin wilder and wilder stories, turning confusion into chaos as rumors fly faster than champagne corks. With a niche fit, a whiplash, mitigated jealousy, a recurring back spasm, comedy ensues. Brimming with razor-sharp wit, slapstick mishaps, and Simon's trademark charm, Rumors is a laugh-out-loud comedy that proves the truth may be the funniest thing of all. less

IN 1989, she planted a see by starting a Monday night performance series at The Hotel Utah on Bryant Street. Monday Night Marsh is the seed that sprouted into what is now The Marsh Theater: A Breeding Ground for New Performance. The program prides itself in sharing personal stories and unique experiences of all types, with a goal of amplifying the voices of our community. It is crucial, now more than ever, to share your story. Local celebrities like Josh Kornbluth, Marga Gomez, Irma Herrera, Diane Barnes, and so many others got their start on Monday Night Marsh. Every Monday (unless it’s a holiday), we feature 3 people who perform up to 20 minutes of their (work-in-progress) piece. Each group performs twice in a month. After each show, we do a Q&A with the audience and performers, which allows for the opportunity to give and receive any feedback. You can watch in person, or stream via zoom for free. Follow us on Instagram! @mondaynightmarsh You truly never know what you’re going to see at a MNM. Join us. Wonderful things can happen. Mondays at 7pm Two Ways to Watch!
