ABOUT
The San Francisco Neo-Futurists are a collective of wildly prolific writer/director/performers.
Named one of “22 San Francisco things everyone must do” by the SF Chronicle, our flagship show, The Infinite Wrench, is an ever-changing collection of 30 short plays performed in a race against the clock, every Friday and Saturday, 50 weekends a year. Every week, we cut between 2 and 12 plays, to be replaced with new plays the following week.
Since the company’s founding in November 2013, we’ve written and performed over 3,000 original short plays to over 13,000 audience members, winning Best Theater Company in SF Weekly’s Readers’ Poll & the SF Bay Guardian’s Best of the Bay.
We’re one of three sister companies in the United States that perform Neo-Futurist work. The original Chicago company was founded in 1988 and has been performing weekly for over 30 years. Our sister company in New York has been performing weekly since 2004.
THE AESTHETIC
"We don't ask the audience to suspend disbelief. We do perform but we don't act. It's definitely not improv."
"We are who we are, we are where we are, and we are doing what we are doing."
