How to Live in a House on Fire
Written and directed by Kari Barclay
It’s 2020 in Berkeley, California, and wildfires are raging. As a gay couple prepares to evacuate,
they decide what from the 50 years of their relationship to take with them and what to leave behind. Their preparations take them back to the night they met in a queer commune in Berkeley in radical 1970, when other fires raged through the community, and they
dared to dream of a better future.
Tales of a Fat Man
Written by Tyree J. Franklin
Directed by Roy Tyrone James II
As you can guess, the play follows the journey of a larger man's past, present, and future of navigating this world in the body he's had
since childhood. It's a sort of coming-of-age retelling of the good, bad, & ugly tendencies of society. There's also a new age Greek style chorus that accompanies and sometimes antagonizes the 'Fat Man' on
his journey to Self-love.
