"Hilarious solo show... " "You'll laugh. You'll cry... Randolph mines new depth of hilarity.” - Robert Hurwitt - SF Chronicle
"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
Due to its unabated popularity, The Marsh is proud to extend Ann Randolph’s acclaimed LOVELAND, now in its sixth month at The Marsh, for the fourth time. The show will play at The Marsh San Francisco through April 25th, 2010, and then move to The Marsh Berkeley from May 8 – June 13, 2010.
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.
