Live Theater for Live People
Shotgun Players exists to light up the Bay Area with exhilarating, come-as-you-are live theater. The eye-opening experiences we share push through the static in a way that’s both provocative and disarming, because when there’s no screen between you and the power of the stage, we’re connected and invigorated.

The director of Wolf Play (2023), Elizabeth Carter, is back to tell the story of Chelle, a Black artist whose time is running out to deliver on a grant – a piece of art set to replace a Confederate monument in Baltimore. As her brother plans a Juneteenth festival in the park where the monument once was, Chelle catapults on a journey between the past, present and future.
