This just in: PianoFight named Most Self-Congratulatory Theater Company in SF!  We did it!  We win! 

Wait, wut? We won Best Theater Company in SF? I KNEW we were awesome. Well, technically we won “Best Up-And-Coming Theater Company” in SF. Shotgun Players won “Best Theater Company.” And SF Playhouse won “Best Experimental Theater Co.” And A.C.T. won the Readers’ Poll for like the 50th year in a row. But the point is, WE DID IT!! WE ALL DID IT!! WE EFFIN WIN BROS!!

First and foremost, congrats to Shotgun, SF Playhouse and ACT – we’re stoked to be in the same sentence. And some even bigger ups to SF Weekly for risking precious column inches on not one, but FOUR theater companies. While most print media is cutting their arts sections in half or entirely, SF Weekly is covering MORE.

So in honor of all this theater-WINNING, we’re throwing a big ass party at the best damn dive bar in city, The Tempest. Party’s at 8:00pm tonight and features music sets from local rockstars LAURA WEINBACH of The Foxtails Brigade, NOAH GRANT of Foolproof Four, an acoustic set from PF favorite MIKEY O’CONNOR and DUNCAN WOLD from El Cerrito (also a PF company member). Cheap booze, good tunes and friendly faces – come by for a beer, some ping pong and and, of course, a shit ton of high-fives.  FOUR MORE YEARS!
