Only This Weekend
Don’t miss your only chance to see this show!
Spirals and Dirt at SfSound
About the Show
Spirals & Dirt is a new original musical by Sean P. Breen, and is directed by Brandon Joseph. The debut of this new musical is presented as a staged reading, with a cast of ten talented actors. Four friends crack open a scrapbook and suddenly we’re reliving the tender, messy work of becoming who you’re meant to be. There’s spirals. There’s dirt. There’s bloom. There’s a bit of Shakespeare. There’s tango. Custodians rule the world. Come join us!

This soulful, country-rock musical is filled with a moving score and unforgettable characters. Hands on a Hardbody is a ride you’ll want to take!
