Over the past 4 weeks, SWITCH/BOARD has invited four celebrity guests to plug some of the specialty cocktails designed for our show by @grey_mkb and @iamnotmk_ ! 

With one more show to go, who do you think we will have next? Find out this Monday, October 19 at Off the Hook: Calls From the Beyond! Grab your tickets now while there's still room, because this is the last SWITCH/BOARD of the year. 

Off The Hook: Calls From the Beyond

1950s cautionary tale AND MUSICAL, in which a phone call from another dimension unravels the reality of the receiver. 

Followed by a screening of: Twilight Zone double feature– Night Call and Long Distance Call.

What is SWITCH/BOARD? It's an improvised screenplay, about telephones, over the radio... In person! 

A pair of comedy mixologists, Nicole Odell & Sean Owens find themselves in a world of old-timey movies, in which the answer to every problem goes through the SWITCH/BOARD! The incomparable improv escapades of Odell and Owens are once again underscored by on-the-spot composer Brendan Getzell. Presented as live radio theatre, these vocal acrobats will populate an entire imaginary screenplay, week after week while Getzell composes the score spontaneously! taken in Stookey's Club Moderne by @seanowensplaywright

Our resident Zine Mistress Sean Owens has created a Queer Surrealist Collage Calendar for 2027– it’s called “Rats, Thriving; A Treatise on Temporal Reunification.” The artwork is bright, and kooky, and queer, and the calendar pages are all hand-drawn, with lots of marginalia!! You can pre-order yours, and we’ll mail it directly to you — or send it as a gift! Preorders should begin shipping mid-September! by @seanowensplaywright

IT'S HAPPENING!! In December of 2025, @thespookyhaus requested that I create a Queer Collage Calendar for 2027-- and here it is! It's called "Rats, Thriving; A Treatise on Temporal Reunification." The artwork is bright, and kooky, and queer, and the calendar pages are all hand-drawn by me, with lots of marginalia!! We're hoping to have it available for purchase at @sfzinefest at Hibernia Bank in SF on September 6th, 2026, but you can pre-order yours from the SpookyHaus website! I hope you all love it, I'm very proud of the work! ✨💝 taken in The Hibernia SF by @seanowensplaywright
