The Blackest Wrench is back. Following a sold-out debut, the San Francisco Neo-Futurists will return with their one-night-only Juneteenth edition of The Infinite Wrench, featuring an all-Black cast of Neo-Futurists from around the country. Friday, June 19, 2026. BAM House, Oakland.

The show delivers 30 original plays in 60 minutes. This is not improv. The ensemble writes every piece themselves and performs as themselves — no characters, no fiction, no fourth wall. The result is a rapid-fire collage of moments that are funny, intimate, confrontational, and deeply personal. Some plays last seconds. Some stretch longer. No two are alike, and all of them are real.

The debut sold out and left a mark. As critic Charles Lewis III wrote in 48 Hills: "There was something cathartic in being reassured that my worries and comforts resonate with others."

The Blackest Wrench is a special edition of The Infinite Wrench, the SF Neo-Futurists' flagship show running every Friday and Saturday, 50 weekends a year. Since 2013, the ensemble has written and performed over 4,000 original short plays for more than 13,000 audience members. The San Francisco Chronicle named The Infinite Wrench one of the "22 San Francisco things everyone must do." The company has won Best Theater Company in both SF Weekly's Readers' Poll and the SF Bay Guardian's Best of the Bay.

Tickets are $25. Those who are able are encouraged to purchase a higher price tier to support the company's nonprofit mission and help keep locally made art in the Bay Area. This event is expected to sell out.
