Teatro Zinzanni Presents its Last Show at Pier 29: 'On the Air' October 13, 2011

October 13-December 31 Weekly Performances: Wednesday - Saturday at 6 p.m./Sunday at 5 p.m.

After more than eleven years, 800,000 visitors, 40 different theatrical productions and 200 of the finest international performing artists, Teatro ZinZanni will offer its final performance in the Pier 29 Spiegeltent on New Year's Eve 2011. Teatro's current home on Piers 27 and 29 is scheduled to be a part of the upcoming America's Cup and Teatro ZinZanni is working closely with the City to locate a new permanent home.
Bay Area icon Geoff Hoyle and blues phenomenon Duffy Bishop headline On the Air - joining an acclaimed international cast in a brand new San Francisco production opening October 13 and closing December 31, 2011. In a storyline that echoes Teatro ZinZanni's own struggles to remain in San Francisco, the plot revolves around the struggle to keep a local radio station on the air. ZinZannity quickly ensues with dazzling music, dance and acrobatic performances as magic blooms in the musical moonlight. 'Tune in' for a nostalgic journey of music, cirque and cabaret as "On the Air" 'broadcasts live' from Teatro ZinZanni. Taste Catering Chef Patrick Fassino Executive Pastry Chef and Bravo Top Chef Just Desserts Season One winner Yigit Pura will collaborate to create a special new "Americana" menu to complement the performances of On the Air.

"We are proud to trace our lineage back to the very beginnings of theater in San Francisco," said Norm Langill, Teatro ZinZanni's President and Artistic Director. "Our show mirrors the spirit of this city - a magical place that embraces silliness, frivolity, fun, intimacy and self expression. We'll be back. This is home."
