Melancholy, A Comedy

The Marsh San Francisco
1062 Valencia Street San Francisco

Calling Sara Felder a juggler is a little like referring to Michelangelo as "that guy who painted ceilings." Felder is a playwright, circus artist and solo theater veteran who is known for addressing important social issues with humor, grace and, yes, juggling. Her latest work, Melancholy, A Comedy, is a comedy about love, war and coloring outside the lines that will lead you from the Civil War to an Abraham Lincoln look-alike convention to the top of UC Berkeley's Campanile. What happens when the woman you just fell in love with leads you to the edge? What happens when the soon-to-be President of the United States is so mired in melancholy that he can't get out of bed? Clearly, this is terrain that can only be navigated by a woman who the S.F. Weekly once said has "chutzpah up the wazoo."
