Duck Lake, a blood-and-guts-soaked full length show. This ballet-horror-comedy (think Wet Hot American Summer meets The Birds meets Black Swan) tells the story of a fledgling theater company on a creative retreat at the idyllic Canadian campsite of Duck Lake, where they are workshopping a musical theater adaptation of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. The production is hampered by an overzealous director, prima donna lead actor, and incessant interruptions from rogue jet skiers. And then the mysterious duck attacks begin.
Duck Lake was staged to great acclaim in July 2012, selling out eight consecutive performances. SF Weekly wrote that “Duck Lake is the kind of funny that leaves your face sore from smiling” and Mission Mission called it “Sexy and brutal carnage.”
Mission CTRL traces its roots to the early 2000’s when its founding members started sketching together at UC Berkeley, and in 2008 they joined up with PianoFight. They have been featured in SF Sketchfest, SF Improv Fest, LA Sketchfest, and played venues all over California. They have been called “SF sketch Legends” (TheLAist.com) and praised as "seriously funny shit" (7x7 Magazine). The examiner wrote of them, “Mission CTRL ranks with the best of sketch comedy troupes: think Second City and early SNL. These guys can hold their own as writers and performers. They are sure to be more than a footnote in the comic history of San Francisco—they will be around for a long time. Trust me, you should catch their act now so you can say, "I saw 'em when....".”

PIANOFIGHT is a full service restaurant and bar with a cabaret stage and two intimate theaters. We present New Work by New Artists, most of which is local. Shows run the gamut from world premiere plays to inventive sketch comedy, choose-your-own-ending plays to audience-judged theater competitions, improv to variety shows, dance, live podcasts, film screenings and more. Plus we usually have a live band playing on our cabaret stage before and after shows.
