Comedy Blockbuster Point Break LIVE! Returns to San Francisco for 6 Shows ONLY!

Jaime Keeling’s “Point Break LIVE!,” the internationally lauded,
full-immersion, smash hit, absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu
Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme-sports blockbuster returns by popular
demand to San Francisco’s DNA Lounge for a limited engagement. 

Called
“Hilarious” by Variety Magazine, “Point Break LIVE!” tells the story of
former College-football-star-turned-FBI-agent, Johnny Utah, in pursuit
of the surfing, bank robbing, skydiving, bare-hand-fighting
adrenaline-junkie-cum-Zen-master Bodhi Sattva.  Since its Seattle debut
in 2003, “Point Break LIVE!” has ‘rawked’ sold out audiences and
received rave reviews in Minneapolis, Chicago, New York City, Los
Angeles, and San Francisco.  The producers and cast of San Francisco’s
first “Point Break LIVE!” production were honored with a City
Proclamation from Mayor Gavin Newsom on its opening day, April 11, 2008,
“for their efforts in creating another successful entertainment
institution in San Francisco.”  In response to such high praise,
Gawker.com firmly stated, “They should make it TWO days.”  

Described
by Australia’s PopMag.com, as “a cross between reality TV, a play, and
all-time classic film ‘Point Break,’ every show features a new
unrehearsed actor (selected from the audience), playing ‘Johnny Utah‘
with the lines read off cue-cards so as to capture Keanu Reeves raw
acting talent.”

“Point Break LIVE!” features armed robbery,
big-wave surfing, car chases, explosions, no less than two extended
skydiving sequences and an indoor monsoon.  “’Point Break LIVE!’ turns
out to be a wild ride,” states SFWeekly, because this "action" play
offers a true cathartic experience, putting you in the water with the
surfers, throwing you out the door of an airplane, and robbing you at
gunpoint.  Add in the hotness factor - surfer dudes and female stunt
doubles - and you have a night of unrivaled exciting live theater
entertainment. 

The audience doesn't just watch “Point Break
LIVE!”; they are in it to the point HustlerofCulture.com proclaims
“’Point Break LIVE!’ is the ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ for our
generation.”  Recommended optional "Survival Kits™” available to
purchase at the concession, contain items to help audience members
participate in "the ultimate ride," and include a plastic emergency
poncho to protect the viewers from the action that literally spills
forth from the stage.  

In fact, there’s so much action spilling
forth from the stage, it has to be videoed and played through a
real-time live feed on TV monitors set to the side of the stage.  Via
the "Keanu Kam™", the audience can keep track of the volunteer Keanu
when the action bursts out onto the street!  At the end of the
performance, the "volunteer Keanu" is handed a recording of his or her
performance.  The LA Weekly proclaimed “Point Break LIVE!,” "So
hideously over the top, you can't stop laughing."  

Will you have fun?  We’ll just dole out a few more knarly props from cool media outlets on behalf of “Point Break LIVE!”  

• “The
  fact that the movie is a surf saga and doesn’t necessarily lend itself
  to an adaptation for the stage is what makes the show all the more
  ridiculous and a must-see.”  SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
  
• "’Point
  Break LIVE!’ shamelessly rides the gnarly breakers of travesty until
  viewers wipe out on the shoals of helpless laughter."  LA TIMES
• "In a nutshell: About the most dead-on dose of hilarity to ever be on stage."  LA.COM
• “What
  the play lacked in big Hollywood budget, it more than made up for in
  good, old fashioned slapstick comedy and deliciously awkward moments.” 
  SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL
• "Can only be described as all-encompassing, wet, interactive, loud, extreme, and altogether awesome."  LA2DAY.COM
