Local actor Barbara Oliver was looking for show in which she could play something other than a granny or nanny, and she worked with author Dorothy Bryant to create a play out of the letters about politics, life and art between Gustave Flaubert and the cross-dressing proto-feminist George Sand. Kimberly King and Michael Ray Wisely play the authors in this new production. It’s not really a romantic tale. Sand was 20 years older, and they never met. But director Joy Carlin told me audiences are loving it. “It seems to pack a wallop, it’s just people reading letters, but people seem to get very emotional over it.” Details \u003ca href=\"https://www.auroratheatre.org/index.php?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12073446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 476px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12073446\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-800x481.png\" alt=\"Robert Hawkins entertains the Comedy Day audience\" width=\"476\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-800x481.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-400x240.png 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-768x461.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-1180x709.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-960x577.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 476px) 100vw, 476px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert Hawkins entertains the Comedy Day audience \u003ccite>(Photo: Dan Dion/Comedy Day)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sept 18\u003c/strong>: Comedy Day is back in Golden Gate Park. This free (Cheap Thrill) event is a chance to see veterans of the Bay Area comedy scene and new ones you haven’t heard of yet. Johnny Steele, Will Durst, Donald Lacey, Natasha Muse, Loren Kraut, Kabir Kabeezy Singh, Joshua Raoul Brody, (retired politico) Tom Ammiano, and a bunch more are scheduled to perform. The wine is from the Pat Paulson Vineyards, founded by the late Pat Paulson, a regular decades ago on the Smothers Brothers and a joke candidate for President in 1968. So it’s bound to be have an amusing but pointedly satirical bouquet.

Local actor Barbara Oliver was looking for show in which she could play something other than a granny or nanny, and she worked with author Dorothy Bryant to create a play out of the letters about politics, life and art between Gustave Flaubert and the cross-dressing proto-feminist George Sand. Kimberly King and Michael Ray Wisely play the authors in this new production. It’s not really a romantic tale. Sand was 20 years older, and they never met. But director Joy Carlin told me audiences are loving it. “It seems to pack a wallop, it’s just people reading letters, but people seem to get very emotional over it.” Details \u003ca href=\"https://www.auroratheatre.org/index.php?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12073446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 476px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12073446\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-800x481.png\" alt=\"Robert Hawkins entertains the Comedy Day audience\" width=\"476\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-800x481.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-400x240.png 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-768x461.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-1180x709.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2-960x577.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Comedy-Day-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 476px) 100vw, 476px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert Hawkins entertains the Comedy Day audience \u003ccite>(Photo: Dan Dion/Comedy Day)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sept 18\u003c/strong>: Comedy Day is back in Golden Gate Park. This free (Cheap Thrill) event is a chance to see veterans of the Bay Area comedy scene and new ones you haven’t heard of yet. Johnny Steele, Will Durst, Donald Lacey, Natasha Muse, Loren Kraut, Kabir Kabeezy Singh, Joshua Raoul Brody, (retired politico) Tom Ammiano, and a bunch more are scheduled to perform. The wine is from the Pat Paulson Vineyards, founded by the late Pat Paulson, a regular decades ago on the Smothers Brothers and a joke candidate for President in 1968. So it’s bound to be have an amusing but pointedly satirical bouquet.

He’s a voice for LGBTQ rights, access to health care and other progressive causes throughout his political life, but also in his comedy work. You can hear his weakness for a punchline in this exchange where he explained how he educated his fellow lawmakers about sexual politics, including one Republican assemblywoman who insisted on saying being gay was a sexual preference: “And she kept saying on the floor, ‘sexual preference.’ And I did go up to her and said my sexual orientation is gay, but my sexual preference is Brad Pitt.” Details for the run of Ammiano’s show \u003cem>Mincing Words\u003c/em> at the Marsh in San Francisco are \u003ca href=\"http://themarsh.org/mincing_words/tom-ammiano/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/yS2IBMQIjDo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/yS2IBMQIjDo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sept. 3-5:\u003c/strong> So maybe Labor Day is not our last chance for summer fun (summer ends Sept. 21, duh) but that’s the ritual, and we respect any ritual that demands we take in some live entertainment.
