This stylish comedy-thriller is a panoramic tale of crime in the city. In the Mission district of 1940s San Francisco, a granite-jawed, down-on-his-luck private eye is caught in a web of deceit and betrayal as he attempts to uncover a mysterious art thief ring. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, SHAKEDOWN STREET becomes a boulevard of hot nights and cold-blooded murder in a mystery that will keep you guessing while humming along to classic tunes such as “Truckin’’, “U. S. Blues”, “Scarlet Begonias” and other tunes originally recorded by the iconic rock band, the Grateful Dead. Featuring six new songs by famed lyricist Robert Hunter, SHAKEDOWN STREET is the must-see show at this year’s ever-eclectic Ninth Annual Fringe Festival. "We are very excited to have this musical premiere as part of such a great gathering of talent from around the world," said Hunter. This production is being directed by Jeff Griffin. Casting by Sara Schatz at Dave Clemmons Casting will be announced shortly.
