CONTINUITY

BY BESS WOHL

DIRECTED BY EMILIE WHELAN

Set on a Hollywood film shoot where the chaotic soundstage mimics the real-world climate crisis their big-budget movie addresses, the director, Maria, tries to keep her set – and herself – together in this sharp-witted, fast-paced comedy. Egos clash, secrets spill, and hard truths force the crew to look inward and ask, can we fix our climate catastrophe with movie magic?

THE TIME FOR SCIENCE IS OVER.
IT’S TIME FOR ACTION.

What’s THIS?

POST-SHOW CONVERSATIONS

Stick around after Thursday and Sunday performances for a 30-minute discussion with Shotgun’s creative team. We’ll dive into the play’s themes and aesthetics, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. It’s a chance to connect, reflect, and engage with fellow audience members.

The bar is open!

AUDIO-DESCRIBED PERFORMANCE
Sun, JUNE 14

What’s THIS?

audio-described performances

During these performances, blind and low vision patrons may use headset devices provided by Gravity Access to listen to a live audio description of the show. The narration guides the listener through the performance with concise, objective descriptions of new scenes, lighting, costumes, facial expressions / body language, and “sight gags,” all slipped in between portions of the actors’ dialogue or songs.

HAPTIC TOURS

Pre-show haptic tours allow blind and low-vision patrons to experience the space, performers, costumes, and props through touch, their own movement, hearing, and kinesthetic senses. Usually lasting 20 to 30 minutes, these tours lay a multi-sensory foundation to support the audio description. Doors for pre-show Haptic Tours open at 12:45 PM for check-in. We recommend arriving early as tours begin promptly at 1 PM. The audio-described performances start at 2 PM.

Sound Bath and Beyond
TUE, JUNE 9
What’s THIS?

LET’S BREAK IT DOWN – CONTINUITY

Continuity ends with the sounds of desert: kangaroo rats, scorpions, owls, coyotes, foxes, and bats – all moving through the world. Living with us. Let’s quiet our minds so we can hear the sounds of nature that surround us every day. Participants will record 20 minutes of sound from a favorite place in nature and email  files. Our sound designer will stitch the pieces together to create a “sound bath”  for our listening pleasure. Specialists familiar with local habitats will attend to identify the sounds of our fellow creators while we snack on treats from Ohlone Cafe. 
: Rage, if channeled correctly, can be cathartic! Stevie, a character in The Goat, processes her anger by smashing many things in her house. We welcome you to join us at the Shotgun Studios in our very own RAGE ROOM to take out any unprocessed frustrations

MASKED-AUDIENCE PERFORMANCE
Sun, JUNE 21

What’s THIS?

masked-audience performances

We understand that there are many members of our community who prefer to gather in masked spaces. To make our performances accessible to as many people as possible, we offer select Sunday “Masked Audience” performances. Food and drink will still be available at our concessions and can be enjoyed outside, but there is no eating or drinking inside the theater during these performances as all audience members, ushers, and staff will be required to wear masks. Performers will be unmasked while on stage during the performance. Upcoming masked-audience performances
