Spontaneous Mind Presents

“Partners in Crime”

Sunday, October 6th at 2:30 PM

​

This first of its kind improvised serial production is back for this month’s installment.  We continue to follow the exploits of two “partners” who rely on audience suggestions to help create their evolving characters and decide where the next investigation will lead them.  Murder, blackmail, jewel heists and kidnapping are just a few of the cases these two private eyes might be sent to solve. It's not a comedy, it’s a mystery.

 

Each show features a guest performer in each installment of  Partners in Crime.

 

Come out and see what one reviewer called “…an improvisational film noir journey somewhere between Castle and Moonlighting.”

 

Shows are usually ~2 hrs in total length, but may run over, due to their nature.

 

Tickets only $15

“People Just Disappear”

Written and Directed by Bill Chessman

​

Bernice Bannerman has been experimenting to find ways to connect and communicate with alternate universes.  Oh, and people have started to disappear.  Curiously, the disappearances began at about the same time as Bernice's experiments.  It's probably just a coincidence.  Yeah, that's it.  Nothing to worry about.  Probably.

​

“Frankenstein 4.1”

Written and Directed by Bill Chessman

​

Dr. Lola Frankenstein, the most respected member of the Biology Department faculty at Transylvania U, has just been fired.  There's only one thing to do.  Wreak revenge on Professor Wilhelm, the department chair.  But, despite her distant relation to that other Frankenstein, she might need more competent help than her long-suffering assistant Fritz is able to provide.

​

...plus a bonus short subject piece.

​

Three dates!  Do NOT miss these shows!

Act II Improv
Spontaneous Mind Presents
“Improv for Good”
Saturday, October 26th at 7:30 PM
 

Improv for GOOD is an improvised theatrical production.  The purpose of the production is to raise money and awareness for our charity partner.  The show will be comprised of a number of what we call short form games.  They are performed with more of a scene-based twist whenever possible.  All made up from your suggestions.

​

Our second half is a blend of games, and this later portion of the show features some longer scenes that may be humorous with a bit of  drama thrown in.

​​

Proceeds will go to one of our charity partners which are 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.

​

Tickets only $15

Renegade Orchestra - The Beauty of a Symphony, the Soul of a Rock Band

Welcome to the Renegade Orchestra - it’s time to throw out all the old conventions of a quiet, sleepy, stuffy show of musicians locked in straight jackets of tradition.


Clap your hands, tap your feet, and yell all you want - the Renegade Orchestra embraces the virtuosic skills of top bay area musicians and turns them loose on songs orchestras have never or maybe shouldn’t do. No sleepy pop songs, no overly-lush jazz standards, but the pure unbridled fury of what an orchestra can truly do
 

“Classical Rebels.” —The Bohemian
 

“The Renegade Orchestra would rather tackle Hendrix than Handel.” —Mercury News
 

"If there’s one piece of advice I would give to anyone interested in seeing this group perform, it would be to expect the unexpected, or better yet, leave your expectations at the door and go in prepared for a ride. If there’s one thing that’s for certain, it’s that this writer will be catching them again the next time they perform in town." —Napa Valley Register
 

“...Under the baton of co-founder, guitarist and conductor Jason Eckl, [the Renegade Orchestra] turn Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman” into a shimmering string-centric odyssey, capture the classic helter-skelter vibe in Paul McCartney’s and John Lennon’s “Helter Skelter,” find the funk in “What’d I Say” by Ray Charles and crash with vibratory verve through Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze.” —East Bay Express
​

Tickets start at $35
