SUMMARY:My Dead Uncle’s Porn Collection
DESCRIPTION:I have to clean out my “funny uncle’s” house. He’s dead. The whole family knows about him because\, somehow\, he was allowed to be around. We had to warn each new generation about him. We never understood why he was the way he was. Maybe there’s something in his house that’ll explain it. All of us are curious. Some of us are furious. \n“My Dead Uncle’s Porn Collection” was developed with David Ford at two of the San Francisco Bay Area’s premier performance series: The Marsh and Solo Sundays at Stage Werx. It is an official selection of the Soaring Solos Stars Series and Whitefire Solofest in Los Angeles following it’s premier at Tampa International Fringe Festival 2025. \nBrady’s first solo show\, “Father\, Daughter\, and Holy Toast” played at Rogue Festival 2022\, Orlando International Theater Festival\, Cincinnati Fringe and Great Salt Lake Fringe\, earning laudatory reviews. \nBrady “commands the stage with a sense of ease that immediately draws in audience members.” (Front Row Reviewers) \n“Impressive… this is a woman worth leaning in and listening to.” (Orlando Weekly) \nNight owl special! February 27\, 10 PM show is free! \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:S'will
DESCRIPTION:The Fools are back with their lovingly mangled take on ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’\, this time rooted in the present-day Central Valley for a take that’s more queer-powered\, pro-immigrant\, anti-fascist\, and irreverent than ever. If you’ve never been\, the S’Will series is what happens when you smash together Shakespeare\, booze\, improv\, pop culture\, and an audience that’s very much a willing participant in all the chaos. \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:We Will Rise
DESCRIPTION:WE WILL RISE is a powerful docu-theater work written by JP Rapozo\, one of Toni Curtsinger’s best friends from college. It traces the extraordinary true story of Toni — a woman who survived the 2012 Aurora\, Colorado Batman movie-theater mass shooting after being shot in the face while nine months pregnant. Through interviews\, testimony\, and theatrical storytelling\, the play explores what happens after the headlines fade: the lingering fear\, the long nights\, the trial\, the shifting relationships\, and the everyday courage it takes to keep showing up for life. Toni’s journey is deeply intertwined with the memory of her dear friend Alex Sullivan\, who was celebrating his birthday that night and never made it home. His life\, humor\, and heart echo throughout the piece — grounding the story in love\, loss\, and the people whose absence continues to shape the survivors’ lives. Over the course of a decade\, Toni rebuilds her sense of safety\, identity\, and purpose — navigating motherhood\, trauma\, advocacy\, and the complicated ways communities grieve and heal together. WE WILL RISE refuses to center the violence itself; instead\, it lifts the voices of survivors\, honors those we lost\, and invites audiences to witness resilience in its raw\, human form. Grounded in truth\, compassion\, and hope\, this production asks: How do we live after unimaginable harm — and how do we rise\, not alone\, but together? \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:DYSFUNCTION: A New Musical - In Concert!
DESCRIPTION:DYSFUNCTION is a healing journey put on stage. The show is about love\, pain\, trauma\, and how – with community – we can move forward from things that happen to us. The show teaches us that no one is above dysfunction and no one is below healing. \nThis is not one story. It is a collection of stories told through various mediums by a company of multicultural and intergenerational vocalists and instrumentalists. \nThis is not one genre. Using various musical styles in the score\, there is room for these songs to be performed in the way that best serves each story in itself\, while also giving the audience a playlist that will have something for everyone. \nWe hope that you see yourself in this show and can’t wait to share this music with you! \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:My Dead Uncle’s Porn Collection
DESCRIPTION:I have to clean out my “funny uncle’s” house. He’s dead. The whole family knows about him because\, somehow\, he was allowed to be around. We had to warn each new generation about him. We never understood why he was the way he was. Maybe there’s something in his house that’ll explain it. All of us are curious. Some of us are furious. \n“My Dead Uncle’s Porn Collection” was developed with David Ford at two of the San Francisco Bay Area’s premier performance series: The Marsh and Solo Sundays at Stage Werx. It is an official selection of the Soaring Solos Stars Series and Whitefire Solofest in Los Angeles following it’s premier at Tampa International Fringe Festival 2025. \nBrady’s first solo show\, “Father\, Daughter\, and Holy Toast” played at Rogue Festival 2022\, Orlando International Theater Festival\, Cincinnati Fringe and Great Salt Lake Fringe\, earning laudatory reviews. \nBrady “commands the stage with a sense of ease that immediately draws in audience members.” (Front Row Reviewers) \n“Impressive… this is a woman worth leaning in and listening to.” (Orlando Weekly) \nNight owl special! February 27\, 10 PM show is free! \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:We Will Rise
DESCRIPTION:WE WILL RISE is a powerful docu-theater work written by JP Rapozo\, one of Toni Curtsinger’s best friends from college. It traces the extraordinary true story of Toni — a woman who survived the 2012 Aurora\, Colorado Batman movie-theater mass shooting after being shot in the face while nine months pregnant. Through interviews\, testimony\, and theatrical storytelling\, the play explores what happens after the headlines fade: the lingering fear\, the long nights\, the trial\, the shifting relationships\, and the everyday courage it takes to keep showing up for life. Toni’s journey is deeply intertwined with the memory of her dear friend Alex Sullivan\, who was celebrating his birthday that night and never made it home. His life\, humor\, and heart echo throughout the piece — grounding the story in love\, loss\, and the people whose absence continues to shape the survivors’ lives. Over the course of a decade\, Toni rebuilds her sense of safety\, identity\, and purpose — navigating motherhood\, trauma\, advocacy\, and the complicated ways communities grieve and heal together. WE WILL RISE refuses to center the violence itself; instead\, it lifts the voices of survivors\, honors those we lost\, and invites audiences to witness resilience in its raw\, human form. Grounded in truth\, compassion\, and hope\, this production asks: How do we live after unimaginable harm — and how do we rise\, not alone\, but together? \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:Man Cave\, a One-Man Sci-Fi Climate Change Tragicomedy\, Volume II
DESCRIPTION:Six years ago\, Tim Mooney brought “Man Cave; a One-Man Comic Sci-Fi Thriller” to the Rogue Theatre Festival. “Man Cave” featured “the last man on Earth\, broadcasting to whatever Klingons\, Vulcans or Tralfamadorians might still be listening.” \nThose who lived through Rogue 2020 may remember a “pandemic” just after the first weekend of performances. Mooney notes\, “Everything was on the brink of shut-down\, but for those few who still came out\, a play about the end of the world seemed astonishingly on target!” \nSix years later\, Tim is bringing the Original “Man Cave” back to Fresno\, along with its new companion piece\, “Man Cave II”! \nTim notes\, “I wanted to give the folks who missed the first a chance to “catch up” before launching into the next chapter. Some may remember that play’s ending and wonder ‘Where could this possibly go next?’ Well the events of the last five years\, and particularly the recent election gave new life to the idea. \n“’Man Cave II’ is still a one-man show\, with myself playing that ‘one-man\,’ performed in the same location and motif as the original\, but this time as a somewhat different ‘man.’ While the first explored how the world got into the climate conundrum\, this second show widens the lens a little further.’ \n“Oh\, and it’s also still a comedy… or\, a ‘tragicomedy!'” \nThe original “Man Cave” drew rave reviews at festivals through the U.S. and Canada\, including Rebecca Potts’ (Kings River Life) noting “His acting technique keeps you captivated throughout.” \nTim will be bringing BOTH “Man Caves” to the Rogue Fest\, with performances of both shows on the first weekend of the festival (Feb 27-Mar 1).. \nTim Mooney\, well known for his “Breakneck Shakespeare” series\, brings this existential peek into the apocalyptic future. “Man Cave I” is rated “PG-13”) while Man Cave II (terrifying as it is) is for all audiences. \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:We Will Rise
DESCRIPTION:WE WILL RISE is a powerful docu-theater work written by JP Rapozo\, one of Toni Curtsinger’s best friends from college. It traces the extraordinary true story of Toni — a woman who survived the 2012 Aurora\, Colorado Batman movie-theater mass shooting after being shot in the face while nine months pregnant. Through interviews\, testimony\, and theatrical storytelling\, the play explores what happens after the headlines fade: the lingering fear\, the long nights\, the trial\, the shifting relationships\, and the everyday courage it takes to keep showing up for life. Toni’s journey is deeply intertwined with the memory of her dear friend Alex Sullivan\, who was celebrating his birthday that night and never made it home. His life\, humor\, and heart echo throughout the piece — grounding the story in love\, loss\, and the people whose absence continues to shape the survivors’ lives. Over the course of a decade\, Toni rebuilds her sense of safety\, identity\, and purpose — navigating motherhood\, trauma\, advocacy\, and the complicated ways communities grieve and heal together. WE WILL RISE refuses to center the violence itself; instead\, it lifts the voices of survivors\, honors those we lost\, and invites audiences to witness resilience in its raw\, human form. Grounded in truth\, compassion\, and hope\, this production asks: How do we live after unimaginable harm — and how do we rise\, not alone\, but together? \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:S'will
DESCRIPTION:The Fools are back with their lovingly mangled take on ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’\, this time rooted in the present-day Central Valley for a take that’s more queer-powered\, pro-immigrant\, anti-fascist\, and irreverent than ever. If you’ve never been\, the S’Will series is what happens when you smash together Shakespeare\, booze\, improv\, pop culture\, and an audience that’s very much a willing participant in all the chaos. \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:Man Cave\, a One-Man Sci-Fi Climate Change Tragicomedy\, Volume II
DESCRIPTION:Six years ago\, Tim Mooney brought “Man Cave; a One-Man Comic Sci-Fi Thriller” to the Rogue Theatre Festival. “Man Cave” featured “the last man on Earth\, broadcasting to whatever Klingons\, Vulcans or Tralfamadorians might still be listening.” \nThose who lived through Rogue 2020 may remember a “pandemic” just after the first weekend of performances. Mooney notes\, “Everything was on the brink of shut-down\, but for those few who still came out\, a play about the end of the world seemed astonishingly on target!” \nSix years later\, Tim is bringing the Original “Man Cave” back to Fresno\, along with its new companion piece\, “Man Cave II”! \nTim notes\, “I wanted to give the folks who missed the first a chance to “catch up” before launching into the next chapter. Some may remember that play’s ending and wonder ‘Where could this possibly go next?’ Well the events of the last five years\, and particularly the recent election gave new life to the idea. \n“’Man Cave II’ is still a one-man show\, with myself playing that ‘one-man\,’ performed in the same location and motif as the original\, but this time as a somewhat different ‘man.’ While the first explored how the world got into the climate conundrum\, this second show widens the lens a little further.’ \n“Oh\, and it’s also still a comedy… or\, a ‘tragicomedy!'” \nThe original “Man Cave” drew rave reviews at festivals through the U.S. and Canada\, including Rebecca Potts’ (Kings River Life) noting “His acting technique keeps you captivated throughout.” \nTim will be bringing BOTH “Man Caves” to the Rogue Fest\, with performances of both shows on the first weekend of the festival (Feb 27-Mar 1).. \nTim Mooney\, well known for his “Breakneck Shakespeare” series\, brings this existential peek into the apocalyptic future. “Man Cave I” is rated “PG-13”) while Man Cave II (terrifying as it is) is for all audiences. \nBuy Tickets
