Shotgun Players

Wilkommen! Join us as we meander through the past in preparation for our 30th Anniversary Season announcement on February 3. In 2006, we served up a visceral Christmas 'Cabaret,' teaming with sexuality and danger. The SF Weekly said the production, "taps into the malaise of our own time, responding, with lipstick-coated irony, to the post-Sept. 11 spirit of tightening borders, widespread suspicion, and paper-thin optimism from the White House. It's testimony to this version's... brilliantly manipulative mixture of pleasure and terror that I could be disgusted by the meaning behind the words "Tomorrow belongs to me," and yet find myself compelled to bleat them like an obedient sheep. I haven't felt so conflicted at the theater in ages. If life is a cabaret, old chum, then it's modeled on the Hypnodrome." #artinthetimeofcorona #ashbystage #shotgunplayers #30SeasonsofShotgun #dirtythirty

We're so looking forward to sharing our 30th Anniversary Season lineup with you on February 3! In the meantime, we're taking a walk down memory lane. 16 years ago, we produced Tom Stoppard's 'Travesties' featuring Shotgun Artistic Company member Kevin Clarke. #artinthetimeofcorona #ashbystage #shotgunplayers #30SeasonsofShotgun #dirtythirty

A look back at our 2003 production of 'The Death of Meyerhold.' The play was written and directed by Shotgun Players Artistic Company member Mark Jackson, and featured company members Kevin Clarke, Beth Wilmurt, Andy Alabran, Dave Maier, and Patrick Dooley alongside Reid Davis, Clive Worsley, Cassidy Brown, and Isabelle Ortega.
