PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN PREVIEWS:  July 2-9

A season celebrating plays by women must include Churchill. Marlene is out to celebrate her big promotion at work. And she's earned it. It's a just reward for years of dedicated service at the Top Girls Employment Agency. If she's had to make sacrifices along the way, they've been worth it. Dancing through history, Churchill's timeless masterpiece Top Girls asks all the right questions about the struggle to "have it all."


"An irresistible theatrical feast... revelatory." - Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle

"Top Girls is Shotgun’s finest production of the season to date. By all means, go see it." - Emily S. Mendel, Berkeleyside 

"Performed with sizzling pizzazz." - Robert Hall, Repeat Performances

Talk Back Schedule

Remember that we love you, but there is no late seating at Shotgun Players. Performances begin promptly. Due to the configuration of our theater latecomers will only be seated at the intermission if and when a production has one. This is a policy we must enforce without exceptions, due to the design of our theatre, and for the safety of our actors and audience members.



THE RUN OF THIS SHOW HAS ENDED. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME!
