About.

David Ford has been collaborating on new and unusual theatre for three decades and has been an artist-in-residence at The Marsh for most of that time. His award-winning solo shows have been seen all over the English-speaking world. The San Francisco press has variously called him "the solo performer maven", "the monologue maestro", "the dean of solo performance", and "the solo performer’s best friend" and a week rarely goes by when residents of the Bay Area can not enjoy one of his productions. Collaborators include Geoff Hoyle, Brian Copeland, Lorri Holt, Charlie Varon, Echo Brown, Tom Ammiano, Firoozeh Dumas, Marilyn Pittman, Rebecca Fisher, Wayne Harris, Irma Herrera, Bill Talen, and Marga Gomez.
