For the third year in a row SF-based production company PianoFight teams with local playwright sensation Daniel Heath for the production of FORKING II: A Merry FORKING! Christmas, a fully-scripted play in which the audience votes on how the plot will proceed. With nine votes in the play, audiences are treated to 362,880 possible paths to the final outcome with the sum of each vote adding up to a cheerful holiday or a bah-humbug Christmas. The director of this uniquely participatory holiday play is Christy Crowley and the run will again feature acclaimed composer Arlen Hart who will play his original score live each night. The score, recorded as A FORKING Album, was produced by PianoFight and New York-based record label SoundVise and is available on iTunes. FORKING II: A Merry FORKING! Christmas runs December 2 -- 30 at 8:00pm (see www.PianoFight.com for specific dates) at Stage Werx 446, 446 Valencia Street in San Francisco's Mission District. Tickets are $17-$35 and can be purchased at www.PianoFight.com.
