by Sunhui Chang
Directed by Ellen Sebastian Chang
Performances: April 4 - April 20, 2025
Conceived originally as a screenplay, SunHui’s now-play keeps the cinema’s ability to shatter time and narrative and bats around the pieces like a cat with a ball of string. The story concerns Brian, a Korean-American virologist and former homicide detective; and Vee, a black woman in the Pacific Northwest. These two characters are thrust together to track David, a white, nihilistic carrier of a feverish virus called “the boiling”: the search reveals the intersections of science, identity, home . . . and birding within an American landscape made of our histories and traditions of redemptive violence.

This play is a journey back to the mytho/spiritual/geographic home of Aztlán - and operates at once in mythology of Goddesses and God and simultaneously in the reality of Highway 99, the droughts, the prisons. The story follows Aztlán, released after a ten year stint in prison and tracks his fight to keep away the underworld darkness in ourselves, our families, and our lineage.

A tribute play with live music
by Richard Montoya
Directed by Rotimi Agbabiaka, with dramaturgy by Edris Anifowoshe-Cooper
October 29 – November 16, 2025
This is an original creation uncovering the roots of Jerry Garcia in the Mission. A Tribute to the formative years in our own City of an American Icon and local legend - Jerry Garcia. A special piece of live music, San Francisco history, and Grateful Dead Lore wrapped into an intimate theatre concert. This theatrical exploration goes to the earliest roots (1947-48) of the iconic Jerry Garcia and how his early life plays out in the Mission District of yore. Before the Dead, we reach back to Jerry, an imaginative and sensitive child who witnesses the drowning of his Spanish father and must now navigate the length of Mission Street and his memory of a strong Irish Mother, owner of a Merchant Marine and Navy saloon, right in the heart of the Lower Mission.
