BOB'S HOLIDAY
OFFICE PARTY 2009
Begins December 4, 2009
Back for another season of hilarious hi-jinks!
Zany seasonal offering remains a cult favorite after fourteen years.
Runs December 4th through December 20th, 2009
LA’s most “hilariously deranged” (Los Angeles Times) holiday tradition is BOB'S HOLIDAY OFFICE PARTY and it’s back to add a little salt to the season at the Theatre Asylum in Hollywood, December 4 through December 20.
Every year, insurance agent Bob Finhead's whacked out friends and clients stop by his small-town Iowa office for their annual holiday bash. The town mayor, the sheriff, the twin farmer sisters, the stoner, the town floozy and the pastor’s wife have already RSVPed for this year’s event. But Bob has dreams of a bigger life and wants to escape their narrow-minded thinking. Will he be able to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional inventor and move to the big city, or will he come to realize how much he is the heart and soul of the town? Will any of this matter once the party stars, the bickering and fighting begins, and the drinks hit the floor?

IMPROV WORKSHOPS @ THEATRE ASYLUM
David Razowsky
On Tuesday, February 3rd, David Razowsky, Second City alumni and former Artistic Director of the Training Center of The Second City Los Angeles, will be moving his long-running Advanced Improv Drop-In workshop to The Asylum Theatre, 6320 Santa Monica Blvd.
The basis of this class is to remind ourselves that all improvisation is acting, and to focus on the ease of getting to the scene as soon as possible, staying focused on your partner, feeling comfortable with silences, and making scenic choices outside of your expectations. Learn how to make the scene come to you instead of you searching for the scene.
Advanced Improv is a $30 per class drop-in program offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-7 p.m. Students who have not taken classes with David are encouraged to email him prior to their first visit to the class -

SOLO @ Off Market
Off-Market Theaters and its managing companies, Combined Artform and PianoFight, are proud to announce the launch of San Francisco’s newest venue for solo performances, Stage 205 at Off-Market, which will feature the Bay Area’s longest-ever running solo show, Brian Copeland’s Not A Genuine Black Man, and the world premiere run of Jennifer Jajeh’s I Heart Hamas, both kicking off the weekend of Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 8:00pm, with the award winning playwright and actor Raymond Shurtz’s Bohemian Cowboy running Friday and Saturday nights, September 11 – 19
(full schedule and info at www.offmarkettheaters.com/solo )
Rounding out the line-up of Bay Area solo performers playing at Stage 205 at Off-Market, will be Norm Coleman’s Ty Cobb: The Greatest Player That Played, and Katie Rubin’s Inside Out! And professional comedian Ira Brightman will be performing the life-extension portion of his solo show, God, Hitler, and Life-Extension. Additional performers will be added throughout the year.
Off-Market Theaters, located at 965 Mission St in San Francisco, is excited to be continuing its long history with solo performers (the venue hosted the SF Solo Fest in 2006), and working with such a high caliber of Bay Area performers. As venues across the country continue to shutter their doors, and companies shorten season lengths and cut show budgets, Off-Market is thrilled to offer solo performers opportunities to perform at a great San Francisco venue.
