About this project
We need to cover costs of production and to support our players, who have devoted time and energy to this show. A portion of our total earnings will also help Larkin Street Youth Center in San Francisco.
The Age of Reason
A talented cast of dancers and actors bring this story to life. A highly comedic and colorful tale, a moral journey through the back roads of urban society. Our main character, Mathieu struggles between his responsibilities in life and his need for eternal freedom, making interesting friends and losing lovers along the way.
Please join us for a night of stellar entertainment!
