The Fringe Festival is a bat signal to S.F. theater weirdos

For relief from all the doom and gloom in Bay Area arts news, for a counterexample to the slick homogeneity of for-profit art, behold: The San Francisco Fringe Festival is still here, a bat signal alerting all the city's theatrical weirdos that it's time to come out and play. This year's iteration, Exit Theatre's 34th such event, takes place exclusively at the Taylor Street Theatre, now that the company has shuttered its Eddy Street venue. But there are still plenty of goodies to be had, starting with a return of San Francisco native Genie Cartier, whose 'The Curve' two years ago brought offbeat charm to her story of daring to be an acrobat despite her spine's unpromising shape. This time, in 'Box [M],' she directs Landyn Endo and Os Roxas in the story of a trans son and his father. Other highlights include three clown shows, including one whose character's name is Gherkin Picklewater, and the relatably titled 'I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Going to Take It Just a Little Bit Longer.'
