Hear English Actor Ian Ruskin in his one man show on Thomas Paine, the Radical Founding Father author of Common Sense, on voting rights and democracy, and more. The eloquence and passion of Thomas Paine are on full view in Ian Ruskin’s vivid portrayal of this fiery patriot and Founding Father. Writer-actor Ruskin captures Paine’s brilliance, contradictions and contrariness in his one-man play about the radical enlightenment figure that helped forge America’s core. “The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.” - Thomas Paine

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
