I’ve spent most of April doing rewrites on several plays (and making notes for what may be the next one), so I haven’t seen a whole heck of a lot. But it looks like May is gonna be overflowing with opportunities. I can’t guarantee I’ll have time to see all of these shows, but here’s what I’m hoping to see:

• Sam Shepard’s Curse of the Starving Class at A.C.T. (Apr 25 - May 25)

• Steven Epp and Dominique Serrand’s Figaro at Berkeley Rep (Apr 25 - Jun 08)

• The Fully-Improvised Theater: The Musical by Un-Scripted Theater (May 01 - May 31)

• Dan Wilson’s Sweetie Tanya at EXIT Theatre (May 02 - May 24)

• John Ford’s ‘Tis Pity She’s A Whore by Impact Theatre (May 02 - Jun 07)

• Best of PlayGround Festival at Thick House (May 08 - May 25)

• Steve Yockey’s Octopus at Magic Theatre (May 10 - Jun 08)
