Colossal

The San Francisco Playhouse
450 Post Street San Francisco

Playing out in four real-time quarters complete with a halftime show and a drum-line, Colossal is both an epic and an intimate story of love, family and emotional endurance, all unfolding within a football game and framed by modern dance. The hard-hitting drama tells the story of young Mike, a college player who suffered a tackle in a game that left him paralyzed from the waist down. His relationships with his father, his physical therapist and his teammates are all revealed through engaging flashbacks. Bristling with the intense physicality of both the gridiron and the dance stage, San Francisco Playhouse's production of Colossal is set to make a huge theatrical impact.
