The Marsh San Francisco presents "Arent You?," the newest solo show by actor Fred Pitts recounting his hilarious journey to visit all 21 California Mission churches, where he discovers being black makes him an instant celebrity the question is which one? Set in the Summer of 2012, Pitts finds himself at one Mission after the next, encountering docents and fellow tourists. Some are experts on the Catholic Church, a few are experts on Native American history, others are experts on...everything else. Yet, they have one thing in common: they are all experts on which famous black person he resembles. Full of Pitts personal experiences and love of history, "Arent You?" perfectly blends delightful insights into the Missions, cogent thoughts on early California settlers interactions with Native Americans, and the experience of walking in the shoes of an African American male.WHEN: April 11 May 10, 2020SHOWS: 5:00pm Saturdays & 2:00pm Sundays
