The Play That Goes Wrong

The runaway comedy success that hails from the multi-award-winning Mischief Theatre, this Broadway and West End hit finally lands in San Franciso, ready to unravel as it kicks off the San Francisco Playhouse's 2024/25 season! Following the unlucky fortunes of an amateur dramatic society as they attempt to stage a murder mystery, this laugh-out-loud play is a madcap adventure that channels the zaniness of Monty Python with the intricacy of Sherlock Holmes. Now celebrating over a decade of going wrong on both sides of the Atlantic, don't miss your chance to enjoy this much anticipated West Coast staging, directed by SFP's own Susi Damilano.

James Ijames' Pulitzer Prize-winning play comes to the San Francisco Playhouse, continuing their fantastic 2024/25.

My Fair Lady at San Francisco Playhouse

My Fair Lady

The musical that launched both the careers of Dame Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn (in the film version) this uplifting musical comedy of upward mobility, snobbery and love is a firm favorite in theater canon. Based on George Bernard-Shaw's novel Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is the irresistible rags-to-riches story of a poor flower seller who is plucked from her corner in Covent Garden by a haughty professor who wishes to win a bet - he can raise anyone to high society, just by teaching them to talk the talk. Directed by Bill English and with music direction from Dave Dobrusky, don't miss this loverly musical as it closes the San Francisco's 2024/25 season in the summer of 2025.
