A John Waters Christmas
John Waters loves Christmas, and he wants you to know. The legendary cult-filmmaker takes to the stage with his traditional one-man monologue, extolling the virtues of everyone's favorite holiday, from offering advice on Christmas films and music to asking the important questions you've always wanted to be answered by the people's pervert, such as 'Is Santa erotic?'
Clue
Based on the board game and the cult movie classic, Clue is a fiendishly funny murder mystery, where everyone is a suspect, and the next potential victim! Featuring all the colorful characters from the game, from Colonel Mustard to Mrs. White, Clue leads us from room to room in a whirlwind of slapstick comedy and real theatrical verve.
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.

Fat Ham
James Ijames' Pulitzer Prize-winning play comes to the San Francisco Playhouse, continuing their fantastic 2024/25. A wildly imaginative and socially-charged reimagining of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Fat Ham transforms the Prince of Demark's dour castle into a place at a BBQ cookout in the South, where Juicy, a queer college student, must decide whether to avenge his father's death or carve a new path for his future.
