The Other Cafe's 30th Reunion

6:30 PM Friends of the Other Pre-Show Wine and Cocktail Reception (no host bar)

Palace of Fine Arts Theatre

Only members of the Other Cafe's email list will have access to remaining reunion tickets.
The Other Café, which closed in 1993, helped launch the careers of many national talents. More than Twenty-five of our favorite SF comics are holding the September 25 date, including some very special guests.
Thirty years ago, the seminal Haight-Ashbury club changed its format to a focus of comedy seven nights a week—establishing The Other as a west coast hub for thinking person’s comedy and launching the national 1980’s comedy scene into overdrive. On Saturday Sept 25th at the Place of Fine Arts it all comes back for one night only.
The Other quickly earned a reputation among comics and LA and NY talent agents for smart, aware audiences who booed blue humor, connected with political references and who could ably follow character-based conceptual comics like Dana Carvey far out onto any limb. The progressive audiences also readily supported The Other’s choice to become California’s first non-smoking nightclub.The club’s expansive plateglass windows, uncurtained during shows, revealed a parade of Haight-Ashbury eccentrics who inspired comic improvisation. The effect was edgy and electric and heightened by natural improvisers such as Robin Williams, Paula Poundstone, or Kevin Meaney, who, armed with an extra-long microphone cord, chased passersbys down the sidewalk trying to interview them.
We wish to thank the growing list of sponsors for the show. Please visit The Other Cafe for more background and "blogged memories" of those days in the SF comedy scene.

LAMPLIGHTERS Annual Champagne Gala 2010
Herbst Theatre - San Francisco
Sunday, November 7, 2010 at 4:00 PM
A Lamplighters Gala is a unique fun-raising experience, and if you haven't attended one you really are missing something special. Past Galas such as Rosencrantz & Guildenstern’s Excellent Adventure, Apocalypse Later, Major General Hospital, and Operetta, Get Me the Police! have won Best Original Show awards from the Bay Area Theater Critics Circle. If you haven't figured it out yet, the performance itself is a comic spoof with an original libretto set to, mostly, the music of Sir Arthur Sullivan. Last year's theme was a spoof on the recent Star Trek movie and, true to Lamplighters Gala tradition, tied in elements from other, seemingly random, areas such as American Idol and Broadway. THIS year’s story is still being written so all we can tell you is that it will feature zombies and vampires and other monsters (but don’t worry it definitely won’t be scary.
Patrons are invited to come early to browse the many fabulous items in our silent auction including vacations, lessons, art and music, Lamplighters memorabilia, and one-of-a-kind experiences such as the chance to conduct an overture with our orchestra or a walk-on role in a performance. After the full-length show the audience are invited to join the costumed cast and crew in the green room for a champagne party!
