“The hit of the day…a fringe favorite.” The Guardian, UK
“Superb show for kids and adults!!´ Alex, Scotland. 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

This new and hilariously entertaining bubble show is suitable for all ages. Packed with fun stuff, it makes a perfect and amazingly inexpensive family outing for the Thanksgiving weekend. You will witness all kinds of extraordinary things such as spinning flying saucer bubbles, square bubbles filled with fog, universe bubbles with orbiting planets and bubble chains that look lie centipedes. And one thing is sure – the show provides a truly delightful alternative to hitting the crowded sales downtown. There’s lots of audience participation and some lucky kids will find themselves inside bubbles, while others will get to eat them. Warning: expect lots of excitement and laughter.

"Irresistible presence" - SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"...Nothing short of amazing." EAST BAY EXPRESS
"Hilarious. The audience can't stop laughing...Don Reed plays all the characters with both ease and inexhaustible energy" - THE NEW YORKER
"A graceful genial performer...It's hard not to love 1970's funk and soul and Don Reed." - NY TIMES

San Francisco's sleeper hit! Now in its fifth month! What’s more, during the week, Don Reed is the warm up host on Jay Leno’s new show. How cool is that!

Back in 1970’s Oakland, his stepfather forced him to be a straight A, God-fearing church boy - but he wanted to be just like his dear old Dad. Too bad he didn’t know dear old Dad was a pimp.

"Loveland is Brilliantly Funny.., Irreverent, hilarious and deeply human... It's a no-brainer. Ann Randolph is a comic genius... SF BAY TIMES

“Not to be missed, Randolph is a rare caliber of solo performer … fully capable of combining the twisted and macabre, the hilariously absurd, and the genuinely heartbreaking in the exact same moment.” SF BAY GUARDIAN

“…the kind of breakthrough dramatic experience one yearns for but rarely gets in modern theatre.” GEORGE HAYMONT, MyCulturalLandscape.com

*********************

The Marsh is excited to announce the premiere of Ann Randolph's new solo show LOVELAND. Join Randolph as she takes us on the irreverent, hilarious and deeply human journey of Franny Potts. Facing up to the greatest loss of her life while flying from LA to Ohio surrounded by strangers, Franny stumbles her way from awkward confusion through the mystery, tragedy and beauty that unite all us.

A stunning performer, Mel Brooks compares Randolph to the late Gilda Radner for her audacious humor, her generosity and her ability to take us from tears to laughter in the same minute. Randolph’s previous solo show, “Squeeze Box,” was the Winner of LA Weekly’s “Best Solo Show” and the Los Angeles Times Ovation Award for “Best Solo Performer.” Its extended run at The Marsh played to sold-out audiences for eight months last year.

70 minutes; No Intermission; 16+
