Mayor Gavin Newsom Proclaims April 11, 2008, Point Break Live! Day
Proclamation to be issued in honor of the stage production's two-month San Francisco
run

April 9, 2008 - San Francisco, CA: Mayor Gavin Newsom has proclaimed April 11,
2008, Point Break LIVE! Day, in honor of the start of the stage production's
two-month San Francisco run. Patti Carlise, Entertainment Arts Liaison to Mayor
Newsom, will present the proclamation to Point Break LIVE!'s creators Jamie Keeling
and Jamie Hook, executive producer Ethan Garber, producer Eve Hars, and associate
producers/directors Thomas Blake and George Spielvogel, "for their efforts in
creating another successful entertainment institution in San Francisco." The
proclamation will be issued before the start of Point Break LIVE's debut
performance, 9:00 p.m, Friday, April 11, 2008, at Xenodrome.

According to Eve Hars, Producer, "After performing in so many wonderful cities since
the play's inception five years ago, this is truly the highest honor we've received.
We're proud to bring Point Break LIVE! to San Francisco, and if audience reaction
to it here is anything like what we continually receive from Los Angeles audiences,
we're confident Point Break LIVE! will be here far longer than two-months."

Associate Producer, George Spielvogel adds, "the Proclamation could be the first
step towards Point Break LIVE! replacing Rice-a-Roni as the newest San Francisco
treat."

Point Break Live! is the smash hit, full-immersion, absurdist stage adaptation of
the 1992 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme-sports blockbuster, that tells the
story of former College football star, Johnny Utah, in pursuit of the surfing, bank
robbing, skydiving, bare-hand-fighting adrenaline-junkie-cum-Zen-master Bodhi
Sattva. Since it's Seattle debut in 2003, "Point Break Live!" has 'performed to
sell-out crowds in Minneapolis, and New York City, and it continues strong after
six-months in Los Angeles to rave reviews, with all shows sold out two weeks in
advance.

The starring role of Johnny Utah, who is selected from the audience each night,
reads their entire script off cue cards in order to capture the rawness of a Keanu
Reeves performance. "Point Break LIVE!" features armed robbery, big-wave surfing,
car chases, explosions, no less than two extended skydiving sequences and an indoor
monsoon. The audience doesn\'t just watch Point Break LIVE!; they are in it.
"Survival KitsT\", consisting of a plastic emergency poncho to protect the viewers
from the action that literally spills forth from the stage, are issued before the
start of the show, so it's suggested everyone leave their fineries at home. The
stage action, which literally spills into the street, is videoed and played through
a real-time live feed on TV monitors set to the side of the stage via the \"Keanu
KamT.\"

"Point Break Live!" begins Friday, April 11, 2008, at (note new time) 9 pm and two
performances on Saturday, April 12, 2008, at 7:30 pm and 10 p.m. at Xenodrome, 1320
Potrero Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94110. Tickets are available at only $25.00 each
at www.theatermania.com, or by calling 1-866-811-4111. If not sold out, tickets are
also available at the door at $25.00. "Point Break Live!" will continue through
June 2008, and possibly beyond, every Friday night at 8 p.m. and two performances on
Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. For more info, cast photos, and video,
