On the Fly Entertainment’s production of Point Break LIVE!, produced and directed by Thomas Blake Jr. and written by Jamie Keeling, the internationally lauded, full-immersion, smash hit, absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme-sports blockbuster, announces it’s final three San Francisco performances with one performance on Friday, May 6, 2016 and two performances on Friday, June 3, 2016 at the storied DNA Lounge.
Described by Australia’s PopMag.com, as “a cross between reality TV, a play, and all-time classic film ‘Point Break,’ every show features a new unrehearsed actor (selected from the audience), playing ‘Johnny Utah‘ with their lines read off cue-cards so as to capture Keanu Reeves raw acting talent.” The San Francisco Examiner states, “The fact that the movie is a surf saga and doesn’t necessarily lend itself to an adaptation for the stage is what makes the show all the more ridiculous and a must-see.”
Point Break LIVE! features armed robbery, big-wave surfing, car chases, explosions, no less than two extended skydiving sequences and an indoor monsoon. “’Point Break LIVE!’ turns out to be a wild ride,” states SFWeekly, continuing, “The evening feels like a night at the theater, a rock n' roll concert and a wild party all rolled into one. It's loud, hysterical and occasionally frightening.” This "action" play offers a true cathartic experience, putting you in the water with the surfers, throwing you out the door of an airplane, and robbing you at gunpoint. Add in the hotness factor - surfer dudes and female stunt doubles - and you have a night of unrivaled exciting live theater entertainment.
