CONTINUITY

PLAYING NOW THROUGH JUNE 27

WRITTEN 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?

A WORLD PREMIERE!

THE FALL SHOW

CREATED BY ERIKA CHONG SHUCH & CHARLES MEE

PERFORMANCES START SEPTEMBER 25

Long-lasting love is marked by both comfort and conflict. In The Fall Show, an elderly couple’s unexpected romance unfolds against a maelstrom of memory and movement. Lovers collide, chaos erupts, and tenderness persists in an intimate examination of love ‘til the very end.

SPECIAL SHOWCASE – Falling For You

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10 – 2 PM

For You (a socially engaged art group led by Erika Chong Shuch, Rowena Richie, Ryan Tacata) presents a special matinee showcase combining excerpts of The Fall Show with new stories and stage images inspired by their recent connections with East Bay elders. Working with the themes of The Fall Show, For You spent the past few months connecting with elders living near and around Shotgun Theatre—learning about their experiences of falling (in love, into new phases of life, out of touch with old friends). They’ll present creative responses to those elders, and their stories, alongside excerpts of The Fall Show. This collaboration with Shotgun Theatre is the latest engagement in an on-going project from For You called Artists & Elders. For more information, visit: www.foryou.productions/artistsandelders

the death of meyerhold

WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY MARK JACKSON

PERFORMANCES START NOVEMBER 28

A revolution is on the march across our country. But whose revolution is it? We’re told it’s great—while artists and journalists are canceled for telling the truth. We’re told it’s about justice—while our friends, neighbors, and co-workers are disappeared in plain sight. Where are we—Soviet Russia?

The story of maverick theater artist Vsevolod Meyerhold and his era is surprisingly like the story unfolding on our streets today. Meyerhold’s fight for freedom in turbulent times is our fight.
