The San Francisco Neo-Futurists are a collective of wildly prolific artists dedicated to the perpetual creation of experimental theatre that is immediate, ephemeral, accessible, and cheap. We believe the stage is an extension of daily life: we perform as ourselves in a non-illusory, interactive style that challenges the audience to create alongside us as active participants with a voice of their own. We respect and uplift each other on and off stage through non-hierarchical accountability, collective decision-making, and anti-oppression practice of all kinds. We do over 100 shows a year and we will never stop.
Named one of “22 San Francisco things everyone must do” by the SF Chronicle, our flagship show The Infinite Wrench is an ever-changing collection of 30 short plays performed in a race against the clock, every Friday and Saturday, 50 weekends a year. Every week, we cut between 2 and 12 plays, to be replaced with new plays the following week.
Since the company’s founding in November 2013, we’ve written and performed over 4,000 original short plays to over 13,000 audience members. We’ve been named “SF’s premiere performance art troupe” by 48 Hills and won Best Theater Company in SF Weekly’s Readers’ Poll & the SF Bay Guardian’s Best of the Bay. Our work is supported by the SF Arts Commission, Grants for the Arts, California Arts Council, Fleishhacker Foundation, and Zellerbach Family Foundation.
