Photos by Borys Procak.Rowena Richie and Susie Hara, creator/directors of Lost and Found in the Mission, started finding and collecting handwritten notes from the streets of San Francisco's Mission District back in 2005. The found texts, including letters, grocery lists, bits of scripture, and post-its, eventually became the basis for Lost and Found in the Mission, a song-and-dance infused play. When it premiered in San Francisco in May 2007, with an intergenerational, multi-ethnic cast of seven, the San Francisco Bay Times called it "a treasure of a find!" Come see the revamped and reimagined version at the Exit on Taylor Theatre, 277 Taylor St. at Eddy:

September 9th at 7:00 pm

I heard this was really good when it played last year.

Thanks for your comment, Rhonda. It's so exciting when the word spreads. Why don't you come check it out for yourself?! We opened last night to a sold out audience (woo-hoo!) and have three more performances. If people at the Fringe like us enough we may win "Best of Fringe" which will mean an encore performance September 26 or 27. Stay tuned...

Rowena,
I went today. Wow! The show rocks. I see you've made some changes. There were some things I liked better before, but overall I think you've really polished the show to a shine. The "Pleasures of Sleep" and "Orbiting Nazis," and of course "US Breasts" have all transformed. What a magical experience.

Sorry I missed the show. I really wanted to go but have had a crazy week and am fostering a new dog. I hope it went well with packed houses. Will you be having future performances?
Junkthief,
How nice to hear from you. No problemo on missing the show. Sounds like you've got your paws full. You may still be able to catch a performance of this version if you are free for the benefit Sept. 26th at 8:30, EXIT theater. Thanks for stopping by.
Rowena
