SAN FRANCISCO, CA. In 1989, Sixth Street in San Franciscos South-of-Market-Area was notorious as a roaming ground for drug dealers, crack addicts, and hookers. It is here where a group of local performing artists had the delusional idea of opening a black box theater inside the street-level storefront of a dilapidated SRO hotel. In 2004, after hundreds of shows, the hotel and the theater was torn down.

Twenty-one years later, in the same exact location, Bindlestiff Studio will open the doors to its brand new theater this coming Fall. Join us as we celebrate the artistry of live performance from those who have graced the stage of this little black box theater over the past two decades. Help us unmask a legacy at our 3rd Annual BINDLEBALL MASQUERADE taking place on Saturday, March 20, 2010 at the Bayanihan Community Center, 1010 Mission St. (at Sixth St.) in San Franciscos South-of-Market-Area. Doors will open at 7pm. Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased online at: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/editevent.html?e_id=96928 or by contacting Susanna Yu at Susie@bindlestiffstudio.org.

Experience an evening of special live performances, delectable cuisine, and good spirits as Bindlestiff unveils plans for the opening of its new theater. Be a part of building a new legacy through participation in Bindlestiffs Adopt-A-Theater program. This fundraising event will also feature an auction of new works by local artist Dino Ignacio, and Lorna Chui Velascoz as well as music by the popular award winning DJ Sake One.

The only required attire for the Bindleball Masquerade will be a mask. No mask, you say? Bindlestiff Studio will precede this event by offering a series of mask-making workshops conducted by local artists to take place on Sundays February 21, March 7th, and March 14th at the Mint Mall. Suggested tuition fee is $15 to $25 sliding scale. For more information about workshop participation, please contact Dianne Chui at dianne@bindlestiffstudio.org.
