Light flickers. In her bedroom, a young girl's universe is rupturing around her. Forced to face life anew, she must find answers and sure footing in a clash against fate that threatens to crack open the world.

A symphony in 23 movements written for light, sound, projections and people, all of what you love and none of what you hate explodes our contemporary era of total-noise-culture, exploring the magnitude of miscommunication in a world overcome by social media, self-help, stereotype, and bad advice.

The cast features Tristan Cunningham*, Britney Frazier*, CameRon Matthews, andIndiia Wilmott. San Francisco Playhouse's production of all of what you love and none of what you hate will be the first professional staging of a work by playwright Phillip Howze.

Performances will be held at The Rueff at A.C.T'.s Strand Theater. Tickets are $30. For tickets ($30) or more information, please contact the San Francisco Playhouse box office at 415-677-9596, or http://sfplayhouse.org/sfph/2016-2017-season/all-of-what-you-love-and-none-of-what-you-hate/

The Sandbox Series is San Francisco Playhouse's new works program. Designed to bridge the gap between staged readings and Mainstage productions, the program combines top-notch directors and actors with limited design elements, allowing new voices in American Theater to be heard while reducing the theatre's financial risk for full production at this stage of a play's development. Sandbox Series plays have won two Will Glickman Awards in the past three years, and the Sandbox smash hit Ideationrecently completed a successful Off-Broadway engagement in New York City.
