Collectively Operating a Performance Theater in SF

Learn what it takes to write, direct and perform 100 SHOWS A YEAR as a small group of artists who also RUN THE BUSINESS together. It’s not a sitcom, it’s The San Francisco Neo-Futurists. They put on the [Infinite Wrench](https://url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sf-neo-futurists-the-infinite-wrench-tickets-482054827967___.YXAzOnNmZHQyOmE6bzphNmM5YzViOGIwMGE4ZWEyNzJjOGYwZWExMjdiODI0Njo3Ojg1ODY6YjE0Yjg5YjdiZjFjM2E0Y2E3Njc2MjA2ZTZlYmFjZGIzY2NkM2Q0ZmMwNWYxZDUyNmE3NTg4ZDRmMjIyZDdlZjpoOlQ6Tg), the show the SF Chronicle calls one of "22 San Francisco things everyone must do!" They’ll pull back the curtain on how they operate as a non-hierarchical consensus-based collective to organize performance space, run committees, budget and raise funds and ultimately put on a show every week. They’ll also cover their process for writing new material for a new cast of performers to put on a different show *every* Friday and Saturday night. The SF Neos are a collective of wildly prolific artists dedicated to the perpetual creation of experimental theatre that is immediate, ephemeral, accessible and cheap. They believe the stage is an extension of daily life: they perform as themselves in a non-illusory, interactive style that challenges the audience to create alongside them as active participants with a voice of their own. They respect and uplift each other on and off stage through non-hierarchical accountability, collective decision-making and anti-oppression practice of all kinds. **This program takes place in the Steve Silver Music Center - 4th Floor of Main Library (100 Larkin Street)** **MeetUp RSVP does not guarantee registration for SFPL in person programs.**

Come Sing Show Tunes!

This event consists of an informal concert in which the performers are all of us! We'll take turns singing Broadway show tunes. All musical levels are welcome, whether you're an aspiring musical theater star or just someone who belts out show tunes in the shower. If you feel shy about singing a solo, it's okay to come and listen. We'll also do some group singing. Please think ahead and pick one or two solos you'd enjoy singing (this is not a firm commitment, you can change your mind if you get the jitters). Depending on how many people choose to sing, you'll either get to sing one or both of your songs. We don't usually have an accompanist, so after you pick your song(s), you can search for a suitable accompaniment on YouTube. Once you've found an accompaniment you like, please add a link for your accompaniment to this spreadsheet so we can have it ready to play at the gathering: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ftn_81hdqtmYb8_QlKhpyzlu4FwKDDRZGZ3YT2x8qc8/edit?gid=0#gid=0 In the second hour of the gathering we'll schmooze and do more informal singing, and eat snacks -- (optional) feel free to bring a snack to share. For covid safety, please don't attend if you or a household member have ANY cold or flu symptoms, or if you were recently exposed to covid or flu. We will have open windows and air purifiers running.
