Dan Carbone presents New Tales of Mystery & Imagination
Bay Area absurdist writer/ performer Dan Carbone (whom the SF Bay Guardian has described as Jonathan Winters meets Cocteau) returns to the Dark Room for an evening of new works including Ol Blue Balls about a chance encounter between Frank Sinatra and a little girl in the 1950s, The Koreans, about a surreal, true-life encounter between Carbone and some young Korean students on the streets of downtown Oakland and  Debbie and the Demons a woman wreaks havoc all around the globe. (CHECK OUT THE PROMO VIDEO DEBBIE & THE DEMONS! by MIKE KUCHAR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaRCfRFAG2s)

Dan Carbones  recent solo piece Kingdom of Not won Best Male Dramatic Solo at the SF Fringe Festival and was nominated for a New York City Innovative Theatre IT Award  for Outstanding Solo Performance following its run at the Cherry Lane Theatre. He is the recipient of numerous theatre awards including a Guardian Goldie and Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award.

'There Be Monsters!' is a collection of surreal vignettes and dream sequences involving characters such as a monkey astronaut, a dead Elvis waiting on the Highway of Eternity in a limousine and Jesus paired with a hallucinatory monkey named Jungle Bell. Michael Scott Moore of the SF Weekly said of this piece that it almost made me fall out of my chair.

'Dan Carbone is not of this earth! He is a true transplant from the real nether-lands. Not from the land of tulips and windmills, but from a region between retardation and genius! His mind is a bridge where  wisdom and infantilization cross deep waters. His mental imagery contains all the garbage that has been flung at him from kindergarten on up. The deep waters of his mind have washed that garbage and beached it in strange formations for all to view. Like seashells they sing the tunes of their birthplace.' -George Kuchar

'Dan Carbone has rare gifts as an actor and writer; even his oddest noises, chants and stories seem logical. The snatches of comic surrealism Carbone performed were among the funniest things I've ever seen on stage; hilarious and elegant and really, really weird.  He is the oddest fish in our pond of experimental theatre' - Michael Scott Moore, SF Weekly

'In a town where every conceivable wrinkle in solo theatre seems to have been ironed out long ago, Dan Carbone crept out from under the bed and lit the mattress on fire.' -  Brad Rosenstein, Bay Guardian
