ISawYou@metronews.com Send us your anonymous rants and raves about your co-workers or any badly behaving citizen—or about citizens you admire. I SAW YOU, Metro, 380 S. First St., San Jose, 95113, or via email.

Deer Departed Sunday, Father's Day, between 11-11:30pm, on Hwy 152 between Gilroy and Watsonville. Yes, it was dark on that road, and it was late. But we saw you intentionally run over a wounded deer in the road—not once, but twice.

The second time you came back around, the deer had just lifted its head as it lay fatally wounded. And you came back to finish the job. Unbelievably, you then loaded the dead deer into the back of your pickup truck. Too bad you didn't wait for the police to arrive—cowardly deer killer.

the Bard to dinner or drinks at Cafe Stritch.

Tales and Ale

L

ISTENING TO ALL THAT iambic pentameter can work up an audience’s appetite. But rather than choking down a concession-stand cookie at intermission or packing a picnic for Shakespeare in the park, audiences can have their Bard and dinner, too—or just cocktails—in a performance series held at a downtown San Jose restaurant.

Longtime South Bay theater artist John McCluggage presents the next installment of ShakesBEERience San Jose with The Taming of the Shrew on June 30 at Café Stritch, where theater fans can enjoy the presentation with, as the name implies, a beverage in hand.

The ShakesBEERience model was launched in Portsmouth, N.H., three years ago by 7 Stages Shakespeare Company, to which McCluggage and his wife Alexandra have close connections. He is an associate artist and occasional director and actor, and she a member of the company’s advisory board.

Dividing their time between New Hampshire and California and having spent many years in San Jose’s theater scene, the duo, co-founders of Buck Hill Productions, brought ShakesBEERience west, meeting John’s personal artistic goal of producing theater in non-traditional venues and at places where people gather for other pursuits.

“ShakeBEERience is sort of like theater jazz—it matches perfectly with the venue,” Alexandra says. “We are thrilled to partner with Café Stritch. [Owner] Steve Borkenhagen is a longtime friend and arts supporter and we knew Stritch would be the place to launch the series.”

ShakesBEERience, Alexandra says, is a response to a contemporary audiences’ desire for interactive, informal experiences and opportunities to socialize. Works of Shakespeare are presented in a playful and accessible way in an easygoing environment where the audience drinks, eats and has a good time.

“We call ShakesBEERience, ‘a pub, a pint and a play,’” she says. “It’s an experience, not a performance. You don’t need to know anything about Shakespeare.”

Expect professional actors and local community celebrities to carry scripts and move about the bar, engaging with audience members on occasion and toasting each other when called for in the script.

Admission to the staged reading is free though there is a suggested donation. Seating is first come, first served, and there is a club membership that provides guaranteed, reserved seats. Previous presentations have been standing room only, so groundlings may want to arrive early to get a seat and a pint or two.—Andy Lee SHAKESBEERIENCE San Jose takes place at Cafe Stritch on June 30, 7pm. Admission is free.

SV DINING

Firestone Four-Course

B

eer-and-food pairing events continue to grow in popularity, so more diners are discovering that beer can be versatile, thanks to its variety of styles. Plus, beer’s carbonation acts as a palate cleanser, enabling clearer flavor profiles to shine through after every bite and sip.

A special rooftop patio dinner takes place June 26 at Scott’s Seafood in downtown San Jose with a brewmaster dinner featuring Firestone Walker Brewing Company.

Chef Alfonso Tamayo has created a special menu for the four-course dinner to complement Firestone Walker’s most popular beers. To get diners in the spirit, a light reception precedes the first course with bacon-wrapped prawns and shrimp ceviche paired with Pale 31.

Pivo Hoppy Pills pairs with a nuts-and-berries cheese plate for the first course. Proving that beer can even complement the delicate flavors in a salad, Double Barrel Ale pairs with the second course of Butter leaf lettuce, spicy pecans, and goat cheese, with raspberry vinaigrette. For the third course, seared ahi tuna with ponzu sauce, sticky rice and bok choy is paired with Union Jack IPA. For dessert: bread pudding with whipped cream and caramel sauce, served with Stickee Monkee Central Coast Quad.

A brewer will introduce the pairings and guests will have the chance to meet original brewmaster Jeffers Richardson.—Andy Lee THE COST OF THE DINNER IS $40. Space is limited, and tickets are available online.

Pit Crews

T

he outdoor cooking season just started in earnest last month, but it’s more than likely the 50 professional teams participating in the Silicon Valley Barbecue Championships have been practicing all year for such a competition. This showdown of the grilling pros, presented by the Rotary Club of Santa Clara, takes place at Central Park in Santa Clara, June 27 and 28.

The 50 professional teams have come from all around the country to compete for the top prize of $15,000 in this event sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society. They’ll be facing off in four categories: pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken thighs, and brisket.

Amateur grillers can fight for a title as well, in the Backyard BBQ event.

Local barbecue restaurants will also be on hand to serve up their specialties—and to wash it all down, there’s beer, wine and margaritas. A classic car show is part of Saturday’s festivities.—Heather Zimmerman SILICON VALLEY BARBECUE CHAMPIONSHIPS June 27, 4-8pm and June 28, 10am-5pm at Central Park, Santa Clara. svbbq.com.

Off-Screen Drama

STAGE

IF THE NEW availability of Tesla’s patents offers any indication, the race to lock down tech patents isn’t quite as fevered these days. At least, the climate doesn’t seem as overtly cutthroat as the face-off nearly a century ago between independent inventor Philo T. Farnsworth and media conglomerate RCA. Farnsworth and RCA, with founder David Sarnoff at its head, competed TUNED IN RCA head David Sarnoff (Michael Sally) and independent to claim the patent for developing the television. Palo Alto Players share inventor Philo T. Farnsworth this complex tale in their production (Dominic Falletti) race to be first to claim the patent for of Aaron Sorkin’s drama The inventing television.

Farnsworth Invention.

As the creator of The West Wing and The Newsroom, Sorkin is himself a direct beneficiary of this early innovation race and that’s reflected in a play which is part biography (of both Farnsworth and Sarnoff) and part corporate whodunit, but largely a tribute to what each man’s vision would eventually contribute to modern media.

Farnsworth (Dominic Falletti) and Sarnoff (Michael Sally) trade off narrating the complicated story, sharing personal tales mixed in with the story of the invention of television.

The Farnsworth Invention Thru June 29 Lucie Stern Theater, Palo Alto $23-$45 paplayers.org

The initial picture of Farnsworth is a somewhat romantic image of the misunderstood genius; exuberant, single-minded, devoted to his project.

Falletti convincingly portrays the spectrum, gradually shifting all that energy into frustration and disappointment—all complicated by Farnsworth’s apparent alcoholism.

Sally plays Sarnoff as strong, sarcastic and ruthless, but at the same time, captures a surprising vulnerability: Sarnoff, in some ways, appears to be a secret idealist.

That’s particularly evident in his doomed belief that radio programming should be strictly informative, with no advertising of any kind. Even so, his eyes aren’t closed. Sarnoff foresees radio’s short life expectancy as the dominant medium.

The development process for both Farnsworth and the RCA team unfolds in a series of meetings—perhaps that’s too true to life?—many of which devolve into shouting matches.

As Farnsworth struggles to convince his backers of the strength of his design, Sarnoff searches for a way to either prod his own development department or else appropriate Farnsworth’s work. After Farnsworth’s television nears completion, Sarnoff does find a way to land the battle in court, in a dispute over who can really claim the patent for inventing TV. The Farnsworth Invention has encountered controversy—objections that Sorkin’s play suggests RCA invented television—and although Sorkin does take artistic license with the patent court case, he leaves no question that Farnsworth made the key breakthroughs in inventing television.

If it’s not quite a Silicon Valley story, geographically speaking—Farnsworth’s lab was located in San Francisco, as were his backers—it’s a valley story in spirit.

Technological breakthroughs happen so much faster than they did 100 years ago, but the messy, circuitous path to a new innovation, perhaps the most human element of the process, remains the same. —Heather Zimmerman
