This March, KML launches its first original sketch production of 2010! Directed by veteran Lobster Paco Romane, KML Preaches to the Choir puts our belief systems under the almighty microscope. Shenanigans include a couple's unfortunate run-in with the Parking Gods, the incredibly bitchy adventures of Heaven's doorman, a search for the ultimate truth on the playa at Burning Man, and plenty more surprises.
March 11-28, 2010 TJT San Francisco 470 Florida St.

It's Oak-Land, a mock tourism video that lovingly pokes fun at our sister city across the Bay Bridge. Yes, we do love you Oakland, just as much as we love San Francisco... well, almost. Thanks, New York Times, for the props. See this film and more at our official KML YouTube Channel.
KML is proud to be supported by the Wattis Foundation in its effort to seek out and develop its next world-premier, full-length, comedic play. Following Peter Sinn Nachtrieb's lustful & primal Hunter Gatherers in 2006, and Matt Pelfrey's darkly wry Pure Shock Value in 2009, our ambitions are set high for the next production, set to take the stage in 2011. If you are a playwright with similar ambitions, please submit your script!
This March, KML Creative Director of New Plays, Sarah Mitchell, performs in a Cutting Ball Theater & Playwrights Foundation co-production of ... and Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi, a new play about forgiveness and redemption in the final days of the Civil War, inspired by the myth of Demeter and Persephone. For more information and tickets, please visit Cutting Ball Theater.
