YELLOW FACE

Live Theater for Live People

Shotgun Players exists to light up the Bay Area with exhilarating, come-as-you-are live theater. The eye-opening experiences we share push through the static in a way that’s both provocative and disarming, because when there’s no screen between you and the power of the stage, we’re connected and invigorated.

A PICTURE IS WORTH (at least) A THOUSAND WORDS

THE LET’S BREAK IT DOWN SERIES

MONDAY, APRIL 7 at 7 PM
❋ The Shotgun Players Studios @ 1201 University Ave. Berkeley, CA

Meet the man behind the brand of Shotgun’s iconic graphic art and murals: R. Black.

A 90-minute exploration into the fundamentals of the commercial art that has kept Shotgun Players ahead of the curve in theatre identity for nearly 20 years.  A hands-on experience where you’ll create a poster for your favorite stage work good enough for your mom’s refrigerator door… plus booze and snacks! The first rule of ‘Art’ class is never to refuse free food.
