Office Absurdity: Workplace ‘Comedy’ at Marin Theatre

4 days ago | pacificsun.com | Beulah Vega

Pinter once said, “Everything is a comedy, until it isn’t.” That certainly holds true for Marin Theatre’s production of Mara Nelson-Greenberg’s Do You Feel Anger? The show runs in Mill Valley through June 29. Set in a debt collection call center, this comedy follows empathy coach Sofia (Sam Jackson) as she tries to teach the dysfunctional team. Met with a bizarre and clueless set of workers, Sofia tries everything in her toolkit to bring some sort of order to the chaos.
‘Marin Lately.’ Who’s Behind the County’s New Satirical Website?

About three months ago, while researching some random topic on Google, “Marin Lately” popped up in the search results. I clicked. I read. I laughed. Marin Lately, a satirical online publication, has nailed the essence of this quirky county with its overabundance of wealthy residents. Think The Onion, Marin style. Don’t take my word for it.
Lunatics, Lovers & Poets: Marin Shakes’ ‘Midsummer’

1 week ago | pacificsun.com | Beulah Vega

The Marin Shakespeare Company opens its 35th season in the Forest Meadows Amphitheater with a new adaptation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This tale of young lovers and troublesome fairies runs on the campus of Dominican University in San Rafael through July 13. The production was adapted, directed and choreographed by Bridgette Loriaux and set in 3000 AD. Like some postmodernism, this choice creates a somewhat disjointed show. There are powerful performances here.

Don’t Worry, Be HappysAs a concerned citizen who reads your publication not just for the arts coverage but for the occasional whiff of rebellion, I’d like to formally commend The Happys for reminding us all how punk rock is supposed to work—by slapping homemade signage on a utility pole and calling it a business plan. Their marketing strategy is a masterclass in DIY promo. If Banksy and Billy Mays had a baby (and that baby dropped out of art school to start a band), it would be The Happys.

Talk Is CreepCan people really get away with saying this stuff? In the last week or so, some pretty creepy stuff came out of the mouths of MAGA leaders in Washington. House Speaker Mike Johnson said that Trump’s alleged crypto corruption shouldn’t be investigated because, “It’s out in the open.” Hmmm, if a crime is committed in broad daylight, it merits no attention?

Greek to Me, Charles Bililies of Souvla

1 month ago | pacificsun.com | Amber Turpin

If one has never been to Souvla, the fast-fine Greek restaurant with six locations scattered about the Bay Area, they should run to one right now. And one should definitely order the Greek fries, if nothing else. Lucky for those of us across the bridge, the most recent location opened at the Marin Country Mart in Larkspur, being the first Souvla to launch outside of San Francisco city proper.

TraditionWhen you think about it, Donald Trump fits right in. The practice of widespread public lying as standard U.S. government practice goes back at least to the Civil War, accelerated around the Spanish-American War, rekindled in the HUAC-Joe McCarthy period, ramped up to an art form in Vietnam, coalesced with Watergate, reared up with Ronald Reagan and Iran-Contra, made history in Iraq, and fed the “stolen” election in 2020 and the pandemic. American institutions and their leaders lie.
