About the day in the life of a SF bus stop, the play goes from stop to stop as the audience meets the players who are sure to astound you. From Phil, the Vietnam Vet, to Jaime, the Latino Juvenile, to Tommy, the angry punk kid the characters find themselves in bizarre and sometimes compromising situations.

Cinderella

December 12, 2009 - December 27, 2009

African American Shakespeare Company presents “Cinderella,” a classic story of "what's a girl gotta do to get a man" told from a sista's point of view.” African-American Shakespeare Company was introduced in 1994 to create an opportunity and a venue for actors of color to hone their skills and talent in mastering some of the world's greatest classical roles; and to unlock the realm of classic theatre to a diverse audience who have been alienated from discovering these time-favored works in a style that reaches, speaks, and embraces their cultural aesthetic and identity.
