American Hero

Custom Made Theatre
533 Sutter St San Francisco

This comedy from Bess Wohl, the award-winning author of Small Mouth Sounds, takes a look at what's left of the modern American Dream. At a Toasted Subs franchise in the local mall, three up-and-coming "sandwich artists" - a teenager, a single mom and a downsized refugee from corporate banking - are perfecting the mustard-to-cheese ratio according to the company manual. But when the owner stops providing the resources to make those perfect lunches, they become unlikely allies in a post-recession world. Enjoy American Hero, a super-sized dark comedy about life, liberty and the pursuit of sandwiches, at San Francisco's Custom Made Theatre.
