When's the last time a new music series opened in San Francisco? How about one performed in a theater? And devoted to popular music. Also rock. And World music and classical music, individuals, ensembles, acoustic, electric--though mostly acoustic cause it's a 49 seat theater.
Count on line-ups that are eclectic. It's within the realm of possibility that the artistic director might program one of San Francisco's brightest new singer/songwriter's and let's say, Tuvan Throat singers. No that's too mainstream. A Balkan Brass Band. Not much buzz about Balkan music. Just so happens that's exactly the line-up for show #1 (not the Throat singers, the Balkan Band.) Upcoming shows will feature opera, Afro-jazz and Indie rock.
Tom Sway is Underground Sound's Artistic Director. He is a singer/songwriter who was recently awarded a Shenson Performing Arts Fellowship. Tom has performed, sometimes solo, sometimes with a band at the Red Poppy Art House, Bottom of the Hill, and Cafe du Nord. Tom also played a part in Meklit Hadera's recent success, having served as the vocal coach and musical mentor. Bruce Pachtman and Ty McKenzie comprise the veteran producing team responsible for the monthly solo performance series Solo Sundays, which presents the best solo performers in the Bay Area and is nearing it's second birthday. They also produce the storytelling series Previously Secret Information which celebrated it's first anniversary the same week that it was designated a BEST of 2011 by the SF Weekly. Stage Werx Theatre possesses an iconoclastic history, presenting everything from rock operas to scary movies to improv comedy to staged readings to circus acts. Most importantly it's underground. Like the title of the series. Stage Werx is also arguably the best black box theater in the Bay Area.

Hilarious, Heartbreaking & Provocative Solo Performances
Solo Sundays, S.F.'s premier monthly showcase, presents select samplings of veteran virtuosos and top emerging talent in the intimate StageWerx theater near Union Square. Beyond stand-up and storytelling, solo theater creates casts of thousands - plus special effects - all bursting from a single performer. The results are hilarious and heartbreaking, passionate and provocative, ablaze with personal visions.
W. Kamau Bell is the co-founded and facilitated of the
Solo Performance Workshop. You may be familiar with his name. His solo show, “The W. Kamau Bell Curve” was a critical and popular success this past year in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and most recently at the Comedy Central Stage in LA. He was honored by the SF Weekly as the 2008 Comedian of the Year. Which is likely the reason that the plays created in SPW deliver a very funny and personal perspective on stories that often contain serous outcomes.
SOLO SUNDAYS is being programmed by Bruce Pachtman,
the co-founder of the Solo Performance Workshop as well
as the writer/actor of “don’t make me look too psychotic”,
the acclaimed solo show that ran for a combined100 weeks in
San Francisco, Philadelphia and LA.
We’re thrilled to announce that SOLO SUNDAYS is being produced at one of San Francisco’s finest venues for solo performance, StageWerx, an intimate 50 seat theater directed by Ty and Cory McKenzie, a theater iconoclast with a history of presenting anything from rock operas to scary movies to improv comedy to staged readings to circus arts.
