FRANK BOYD & LIBBY KING: PATTI & THE KIDS
Apr 12-15
Theater | San Francisco/Seattle

Patti & The Kid: A post-apocalyptic western with Nerf guns.

Holdovers from an American civilization long gone hide out in a vast and strange landscape. Haunted by their past and horrified of the future, they are just trying to get through the day. ‘Patti & The Kid’ is a quiet, eccentric, and tender examination of fear — and the struggle to make space for something new.

He is the creator of The Holler Sessions, which premiered at On the Boards in 2015 and has since toured to New York, the Netherlands, Detroit, Seattle again, Minneapolis, and will be Portland in March of 2018.
