From the kind, very pleasant staff, to the fantastic story and wonderful plot focus, I have to say that this is the best play I've ever seen. Not only were the topics of interest to me, they were right in-line with my own, real-life issues. It is safe to say that I identified with this performance, and that is truly... More

I'm a 3rd generation San Franciscan and really enjoyed everything about this play and the playhouse. Wine, videos, very energetic performance, extremely well written, some very catching songs that we couldn't stop singing for the next few days. A wonderful atmosphere to see a play. Very friendly. She brings the entire audience together for an enjoyable 100 minutes or so.... More

We had the delightful experience of seeing Karen Hirst in “Absolutely San Francisco” August 1, 2011. My wife and I and six others drove to San Francisco from Los Angeles to see the sights and take in a few plays. Karen was superb in the range if her voice and the depth of her portrayal of the many characters she... More

A well concieved and well performed one woman show. It's certainly worth going to see. I am sure you will enjoy it. Greg Hearn More

Being a relatively new resident of San Francisco, this show was not only highly entertaining, but educational as well. The references and humor are well crafted so that tourists and SF veterans can both have a good laugh. The Alcove theater is beautiful and intimate. Every seat has a good view. As soon as my parents come to town, I'm... More

This show displayed some comical, yet completely accurate depictions of the city that had a heavy dose of education mixed in. For those who live in San Francisco, the elements shown are more true than the commercial stereotypes. Defintely a good value for those who want to see the "real san francisco". This theater is independent and sometimes hard to... More

There are very few theatrical productions these days that I would say qualify for the praise"not to be missed." The not Quite Opera company Alcove Theater production of "Absolutely San Francisco" is, however, without a doubt a not to be missed gem. I laughed. I sighed. I almost cried. But most of all I was entertained by the action and... More

The Alcove Theater is spacious, well-laid-out, and inviting. It is a great space for theater! I saw the production of Absolutely San Francisco there. The production was funny, engaging, and endearing. I particularly enjoyed the "I Sell Junk" song - it's a funny song that you find yourself singing to yourself over and over again. More

Billed as a comedy, there is not a laugh in it. I went because I am a fan of the actor who was performing in it at the time. She did the best she could but the script, songs and direction are all weak. They seem to think that they are presenting art, but what they really have is a... More
