San Francisco, CA, April 26, 2009 --(PR.com)-- “One of San Francisco's more mercurial geniuses of solo performance, Varon so skillfully blends hilarity with serious food for thought in his newest show, "“Rabbi Sam”," that it's easy to overlook his dazzling virtuosity.” Rob Hurwitt. SF Chronicle
“Have we hired the brilliant spiritual revolutionary of our time – or is he a nut job?” – Leon Goldblatt, one of a dozen characters played by Charlie Varon in "“Rabbi Sam”."
The Marsh is pleased to announce that, due to phenomenal ticket sales (the show is already sold out through May 7), Charlie Varon’s “Rabbi Sam” has been extended again through June 7, 2009.
Developed with and directed by David Ford, “Rabbi Sam” plays Thursdays at 8:00pm; Saturdays at 8:00pm through May 9 and at 5pm starting on May16; and Sundays at 7pm (except April 19 at 2:00pm). There are no Friday performances. All shows are on The Marsh Main Stage, 1062 Valencia Street in San Francisco. For tickets, the public may call Brown Paper Tickets at 800-838-3006 or visit www.themarsh.org.
“Rabbi Sam” tells the story of Sam Isaac, a rabbi who wants to reinvent American Judaism, and the havoc that erupts in the congregation that hires him. Some congregants love the new rabbi. Some can’t stand him. And, of course, some can’t stand each other. “Rabbi Sam”’s spiritual ambitions slip on the banana peels of ego, turf and personality. The music was composed by noted New York jazz pianist Bruce Barth. The play was developed at The Marsh, with additional support from Theater J in Washington dc, and A Traveling Jewish Theater. It was funded by an Individual Artist Commission from the SF Arts Commission and grants from the Fleishhacker Foundation, Gaia Fund, National Foundation for Jewish Culture and Zellerbach Family Foundation.
