Sunset Solos
A monthly solo performance series Curated & produced by Jeremy Greco
Sunday, March 24 – 7 PM - 9 PM (Doors 6:45 PM)
Amidst the closure of many small theaters in San Francisco, Sunset Solos advocates for thinking "outside the box" when workshopping solo performance pieces, challenging the notion that theater is confined to traditional venues.
Join us for the third Sunset Solos with performances by Kenny Yun, Anthony Michael Jefferson, and Lluis Valls. If you'd like to learn more about this exciting series and its creator Jeremy Greco, or are interested in performing, please visit the Sunset Solos website.
