Having received both critical and popular acclaim, the Theatre Rhinoceros production of John Fisher's Ishi: The Last of the Yahi has been extended through July 27 in San Francisco.

Fisher's play is a revisit to San Francisco history, a tale of love, war, and ruthless ambition in the City by the Bay. In "Ishi," Professor Alfred Kroeber finds the West's most famous Indian starving in the woods and the two embark on an adventure that will shape the future of California and uncover the secrets of our blood drenched past. Staged by playwright Fisher, the piece unfolds as an environmental theatre production that's been called "gripping" by The San Francisco Chronicle.

Theatre Rhinoceros, America’s longest running professional queer theatre, develops and produces works of theatre that enlighten, enrich, and explore both the ordinary and extraordinary aspects of our queer community.

Performances of "Ishi" are Wednesday through Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm. Tickets are $25.00 and can be purchased by visiting www.ticketweb.com. Theatre Rhinoceros is located at 2926 16th Street in San Francisco. For further information visit: www.therhino.org.
