by The PSA Ensemble STREET CABARET, NOT FOR CHILDREN |
Song, dance, and social change. Comedy and justice for all. Live, prude girls. The Public Service Announcement ensemble brings you a site-specific smorgasborg, dispensing enlightenment, redemption, systematic disregard for the laws of physics, and free cheese.

PSA is a site-specific, physical ensemble theater company dedicated to creating new work around social and inner change. "Comedy and Justice for All" utilizes Yerba Buena Lane - the intriguing outdoor downtown space behind St. Patrick's Cathedral and around the Contemporary Jewish Museum - as a multifaceted set and backdrop for examining the nature of change, and the difficulty of doing so in our society and in ourselves. Most PSA performances are brief announced solely via social networking tools such as Twitter, @psannouncement.
DIRECTIONS:
* From the Exit Theater: Walk down Eddy toward Market, then turn left on
Market. At Stockton/4th Street, cross the street to the other side of Market,
and walk a little further. Just past 4th Street, turn right into a pedestrian
walkway, also called Yerba Buena Lane. You'll see the PSA table/sign set
up halfway down the walkway.
* From Yerba Buena Gardens: The Gardens occupy a full block between 3rd-4th Streets and between Howard and Mission. From the Mission side, face Mission and you'll see St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Contemporary Jewish Museum. Walk completely around St. Patrick's to the back side, and you'll find us right there.
* Driving: Get directions to the <A HREF="http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=contemporary+jewish+museum+san+francisco&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&cid=0,0,18004742549393000674&ei=Cu6rSpb0CoaIsgPFhJn8BA&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1">Contemporary Jewish Museum</A>. Walk toward the museum, and then turn left down the corridor to find the starting point.
TIPS:
* Dress in warm comfy clothing!
* Leave time to find the space and be there before 7pm, since all Fringe
performances start on time.
