Description

2009 | Best Food-Friendly Theater

In a country where most performing arts venues won't sell you analcoholic beverage, let alone let you bring it into the auditorium, theExit Theatre's cafe space is a modest yet wonderful bastion ofhospitality. Located in the heart of the Tenderloin in the samebuilding as two of the Exit's main performance spaces, the cozy andcheerfully managed cafe serves theatergoers such unpretentious yetappetizing treats such as bountiful fruit and cheese plates as well ascopious slices of quiche...

2006 | Best Producer

Twilight Zone by the Bay

By : Silke Tudor | Wed, March 28, 2012

During his six years of residency at Exit Theater, magician Christian Cagigal has become a subtle (by which we mean crafty, ingenious, and sly) local treasure. His illusions, which are rich but not mind-bending, owe their success to Cagigal’s wond... More »
Darkness from the East

By Keith Bowers | Wed, February 08, 2012

The fall of the Soviet Union freed not only political prisoners and some high-end vodka brands but also truckloads of culture -- including some fairy tales so dark they make Tim Burton and Edward Gorey look like My Little Pony. One is Tontlawald (... More »
Memory, Served

By Keith Bowers | Wed, September 07, 2011

We won’t soon forget Malcolm Grissom. We saw him recently at a Sunday morning audition that was just barely even official. We were there supporting a friend, and we weren’t expecting anything from anyone. Then Grissom gave us a hometown tale worth... More »
