Impact Theatre. Pizza. Beer. Plays. This time around, the milieu is the seediest fortune-telling den in Chinatown, where our intrepid team will show us how mystics do that voodoo they do so well.  There are so many songs and stories that they can’t all fit into one evening, so the audience chooses the set list, playing games and winning prizes, and it’s never the same show twice.  Imagine if David Sedaris joined forces with Warren Zevon and then they took over This American Life and turned it into a game show. It’s even better than that. The Cutting Ball Theater presents Krispy Kritters in the Scarlett Night written by   Andrew Saito *valid for performances May 25-June 2, 2013.

About the Play
Cornell Gates is a charming, Ivy-educated mayor of an all-black upper middle class community. However, when the recession hits Mayor Gates finds him struggling to manage spoiled debutantes, irksome interns, and a community unwilling to forfeit a night without organic food and Bikram Yoga. This hilarious new play takes a jab at black folks with money.

About the Playwright
Keith Josef Adkins plays include Sweet Home (2012 production by MPAACT Theater in Chicago), Sugar and Needles (2012 Sunshine Series at Epic Theater – NYC), The Final Days of Negro-ville (July 2011 Represent Festival at A.C.T. – Seattle), The Last Saint on Sugar Hill (2011 production MPAACT), The Dangerous, a commission from The Public Theater, Safe House, and Pitbulls, among others.

       The Magic, a preeminent theatre devoted to the production of new plays, has announced that it needs to raise $350,000 by January 9th to avoid closure. The Magic Theatre’s survival is essential to maintain the Bay Area as a vital home for new work. Its closure would be a devastating blow to new plays, locally and nationally.
