Spontaneous Mind Presents
“Partners in Crime”
Sunday, June 8th 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 $20

“Improv for Good”
Saturday, June 28th 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.

Armed with a copy of “Sex for Dummies,” Alice and Henry check themselves into a trendy spa hotel with a mission: to jump-start their 25-year marriage.
​​
Time has taken its toll – so have kids, stress and gravity. In desperation, Alice has decided that they either make this final, major effort to save their marriage. Can they embrace all the wild suggestions Alice keeps pulling from her handy-dandy marriage-saving manual? Does Alice have the courage to unearth her inner vixen? Is Henry prepared to see his fifty-plus wife, and mother of his children, dressed in black leather?
​​
Henry and Alice’s touching and hilarious rediscovery of themselves and their inspiring efforts to restore their marriage will resonate with audiences of all ages.
​
By turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Sexy Laundry is a romantic comedy guaranteed to strike a deep and resounding chord.

Onstage Presents
Dirty Cello
Friday, October 3rd at 7 PM &
🆕 Saturday, October 4th at 1 PM 🆕
​
From Iceland to Italy, and all over the U.S., San Francisco based band Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues, rock, and Americana. Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is cello like you’ve never heard before. From down home blues and rock with a wailing cello to virtuosic stompin’ Americana, Dirty Cello is a band that gets your heart thumping and your toes tapping!
“Dirty Cello’s music is all over the map: funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled, electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical.”
—Oakland Magazine
“The band plays every style imaginable, and does some fantastic covers. (Their rendition of “Purple Haze” is incredible.) But what is most spectacular about them is hearing the depth of soul in Roudman’s playing—it goes beyond what most people would expect from the instrument. She plays it with so much heart, you’ll wonder why more bands don’t have a cellist.”
—Good Times Santa Cruz​
“A five-piece string ensemble that truly pushes the envelope and breaks the barriers, they blend blues, bluegrass and world music sounds with roots in the world of European classical music in a style that is unique and refreshing.”
—Cloverdale Reveille
“The group seamlessly careens from blues to bluegrass and rock in a way that really shouldn't make sense but somehow does.”
—LA Times
“The ensemble plays a range of eclectic tunes in ways you won’t hear anyone else dare to attempt.”
—Argus Courier
“Anyone who's been in an audience when the San Francisco Bay Area Dirty Cello takes the stage knows that something unique happens whenever cellist Rebecca Roudman and ensemble come face to face with living, breathing (and whooping and shouting) fans.”
—Strings Magazine
“Dirty Cello have been hard to describe, apart from saying that a cello (played in ways you won’t quite believe) is involved, and the range of music takes the word eclectic and supercharges it to meltdown levels of energy and invention.”
—Argus Courier
