Join us for a fun night of local theater on Potrero Hill: A Thousand Natural Shocks by Jacob Marx Rice. We will enjoy an after performance discussion with the theater company's co-founder, Jim Kleinmann '87. A pre-performance dinner option at a neighborhood restaurant is also available at 6pm prior to the show.

A Thousand Natural Shocks follows Kennedy, who is doing okay! Her depression is under control, she’s got a stable job, and her wife adores her. But when the couple decides to make a baby, they must navigate the chaos of IVF, the inevitability of pain, and the Tik-Tok teen crashing on their couch. Taking its title from Hamlet’s famous monologue, the play takes us on a journey through the increasingly fraught trials and tribulations of modern love and life.

Jacob Marx Rice has written plays that have been produced and developed at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center, The Finborough Theatre in London, Actors Theatre of Louisville, The Flea Theater, The New Ohio, Atlantic Theatre Stage 2, and others.
