Thanks to everyone that packed the house for Opening Night! And special thanks to Inay Filipino Kitchen for providing the delicious spread. Please support our SOMA Pilipinas partner whenever you are near the Metreon.

 

The audience response to TAGALOG 2017 has been overwhelmingly positive. "All I can say is WOW! I didn't think they could top last year's production. But the stories, the sets, the costumes, the blocking set a new bar for me in the theater arts. Where else could you see a show like this?" [audience survey response]. If that doesn't convince you to watch the show, maybe this video trailer will:

Granny Cart Gangstas return with

PUSSY GENERATION, Aug 10-12

One Weekend Only!

 

"We're living in a pussy generation." - Clint Eastwood

 

PUSSY GENERATION features all-new, all-original sketches by the Granny Cart Gangstas. Expect nasty cat calls, Asian accent jokes, painful waxes, plenty of pop cultural references, miscarriages, and some political commentary thrown in for good measure. All delivered in GCG's bawdy, outrageous, and sometimes macabre brand of humor. It's like watching SNL on PMS at your Trump-loving lola's house.

 

Returning from their sold-out appearance at the 2017 SF Sketch Fest, the GRANNY

CART GANGSTAS ("Bad Fruit", "Rise of the Red Dawn") is an all-women, all-Asian-American sketch comedy troupe out of Bindlestiff Studio, the only Pilipino-run black box theater in the United States.
