Wintertime

By Charles L. Mee

Directed by Christopher Herold

November 16–19, 2023

Zellerbach Playhouse

Wintertime explores the joy, pathos, and vast power of love—with its capacity to both save and destroy us. Set in an idyllic woodland vacation home just before New Year's Eve, the play follows four couples (and some unexpected guests) as they struggle with their hopes, disappointments, passions, and each other. Written by visionary playwright, historian, and author Charles Mee, and with echoes of Chekhov, Magritte, Shakespeare, and Feydeau, Wintertime is a masterpiece of explosive theatricality and comedic delight.

The Wednesday Club

Written & Directed by Joe Goode

Music Direction & Composition by Ben Juodvalkis

April 25–28, 2024

Zellerbach Playhouse

What do a gay cowboy, a slam poetry genius, a revolutionary poet, a naturalist, a couple of starry-eyed lovers, and a doomsayer have in common? They all want to experiment with the theatrical form as members of the Wednesday Club, a group of LGBTQ+ drama nerds (and their allies) who get together to test out their theatrical innovations every Wednesday evening in a church basement.

Based on songs from the repertoire of the Joe Goode Performance Group, this piece looks at the sometimes painful process of collaboration and the wisdom that can be gleaned from listening and slogging through the rough stuff to arrive at a place of trust and belonging.

Caught between expectations and desires, loyalty and passion, Oya must learn to navigate the turbulent waters of adulthood in southern Louisiana.

The Late Wedding

By Christopher Chen

Directed by Peter Glazer

November 17–20, 2022

Zellerbach Playhouse

The Late Wedding is a sharp, witty, and seductive journey into life, love, and the rituals that keep things interesting. Along the way, we encounter some unique relationships, a spy thriller, and a rocket hurtling through space, ending on a lunar beach and the promised nuptials… maybe.

Inspired by the writings of fabulist Italo Calvino, this provocative and unpredictable play by TDPS alum Christopher Chen (Obie Award-winner for Caught) celebrates the potent magic and mystery of theater.


Berkeley Dance Project 2023: Within These Walls

By Lenora Lee Dance

February 23–26, 2023

Zellerbach Playhouse

Within These Walls is an award-winning multimedia experience that integrates contemporary dance with poetry, original music, and video projection. Inspired by the experiences of the estimated 170,000 Chinese immigrants who were processed—and often unjustly detained or interrogated—at the U.S. Immigration Station on Angel Island between 1910 to 1940, Within These Walls serves as a meditation on healing, resilience, and compassion.

Lenora Lee Dance premiered Within These Walls in 2017 as a site-specific performance at the Angel Island Immigration Station. The company received a Special Achievement Award for Outstanding Production from the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards Committee. TDPS is re-staging the work with a cast of 14 students for Berkeley Dance Project, the department's annual dance concert.


Eurydice

By Sarah Ruhl

Directed by Peter Glazer

Production Concept by Patrick Russell

March 16–19, 2023

By Madeline Sayet

As the seasons change and Persephone returns to the underworld, a mortal girl arrives at the same time asking questions that turn history upside down. The Fates have a game up their sleeves—they are tired, they need a vacation. But in order to leave, they have to return the stories they exploited.

In a whirlwind of events, Adam and Eve, Leda (and the Swan), Helen, Clytemnestra, Iphigenia, and Electra all come together to choose their own destinies and finally tell their side of the stories that have instilled fear of feminine knowledge for far too long.

Pool of Unknown Wonders: Undertow of the Soul

By Philip Kan Gotanda

Directed by Michael Socrates Moran

October 14–17, 2021

Zellerbach Playhouse

"However many begin, that many must arrive."

In an unfamiliar world, six unexpected companions find themselves on a common journey, facing unforeseen tests to achieve an unknown goal. Inspired by Hermann Hesse's Journey to the East, Philip Kan Gotanda's surreal new drama plumbs the depths of the human quest for meaning in a fresh, urgent parable on wholeness, identity, and belonging.

In Search of an Outcome (directed by Sheldon B. Smith and Lisa Wymore of SWDA) investigates the similarities between machine learning and the creative choices used in making dance improvisation.

Detour (directed by Daiane Lopes da Silva and Weidong Yang of Kinetech Arts) is a reflection on two years of uncertainties, fear, and solitude, as well as a continuation of ongoing research on non-deterministic technologies, scientific concepts, and choreography.


The After Party

Guests should be ready to throw their hands up in joy and despair!


Men On Boats

By Jaclyn Backhaus

Directed by Domenique Lozano

April 28 – May 1, 2022

Zellerbach Playhouse

Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. Men On Boats is the true-ish history of an 1869 expedition, when a one-armed captain and a crew of foolhardy yet loyal volunteers set out to chart the course of the Colorado River.

Performed by a dynamic, nimble cast of female and nonbinary actors, this rollicking comedy skewers the American myth of man-ifest destiny and challenges conventional notions about who gets to make history.


Daughters of Leda

By Madeline Sayet

Directed by Shannon R. Davis

April 27–30, 2023

Zellerbach Playhouse

As the seasons change and Persephone returns to the underworld, a mortal girl arrives at the same time asking questions that turn history upside down. The Fates have a game up their sleeves—they are tired, they need a vacation. But in order to leave, they have to return the stories they exploited.

Directed by Margo Hall

Created in collaboration with the cast

Live Stream: November 6–15, 2020

Unstable Connection is a devised performance project that explores what it means to be a student in 2020. Drawing on personal experiences and "moment work," students created this collection of visceral performance pieces in response to their most pressing concerns: the coronavirus pandemic, racism and national discord, and the turbulent transition to remote learning (and living).


Curly Fries: A Working Title

By Patricia Cotter, Geetha Reddy, and Alejandra Maria Rivas

Directed by Domenique Lozano

On-Demand: December 12, 2020 – May 14, 2021

Twelve young people navigate a world blindsided by a pandemic and a reckoning for racial justice. How to go to school, pay the rent, stay alive, attend a protest, go on a date? Can curly fries save the day?

Commissioned from three of the Bay Area's most talented storytellers and created in a collaborative, organic process, this six-part webisode series mirrors our experience of the world today: no one quite knows where the story is headed.


Stupid F##king Bird

By Aaron Posner

Directed by Christopher Herold

Live Stream: April 24 – May 1, 2021

In this irreverent and brutally honest remix of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, an aspiring director rebels against the art of his mother's generation while a young actor vies with an aging celebrity for the attention of an acclaimed writer. Utilizing multiple performative lenses, the play examines questions of art, love, loss, and the eternal (and elusive) pursuit of happiness.


The Trojan Women

By Euripides

Translated by Richmond Lattimore

Directed by Torange Yeghiazarian

On-Demand Audio Play: May 10–24, 2021

When one empire falls and another rises, who is caught in between? And how do the decisions made a century ago continue to reverberate through today's global political dynamics? This geopolitical reframing of Euripides' timeless tragedy parallels the aftermath of the Trojan War­­­­­­—and its devastating effects on women—with the rise of the U.S. as an empire in the 20th century.


Berkeley Dance Project 2021: Turntables

Directed by Latanya d. Tigner and Lashon Daley

On-Demand: May 20 – December 21, 2021

Created by Latanya d. Tigner and Lashon Daley in collaboration with the company members, Turntables centers the story of the Cal Bearettes and their struggle to find space and respect on UC Berkeley's campus. Despite being the first majorette-style dance team in the University of California system, these women of color are often relegated to practice in parking garages, are mocked during games, and are denied athletic funding. The Bearettes symbolize the trials that Black women and women of color have faced as they seek to find resources, provisions, and a safe place to call their own.

Traversing experiences of the 1960s sit-ins, Turntables brings their current struggle into conversation with the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, protestors staged sit-ins in order to stand up against being treated as second-class citizens. In 2021, the Cal Bearettes "stand" for the same reason.

2019/2020

Who Shot La Miguelito?

Written & Directed by Sean San José

October 17–19, 2019

Zellerbach Playhouse

This dynamic performance piece parallels the murder of a young street artist in San Francisco’s Mission District with the death of immigrant, working-class neighborhoods. Mapping the Mission in murals, tags, stickers, stencils, and socio-political protest art, the piece invites the audience to see, hear, and move with refugees, immigrants, first gens... and ghosts. Originally created for the San Francisco performance group Campo Santo, the piece has been made anew for UC Berkeley with an original score, immersive design, and incorporated student stories.


The Caucasian Chalk Circle

By Bertolt Brecht

Directed by Christine Nicholson

November 15–24, 2019

Zellerbach Playhouse

This captivating play within a play tells the corresponding stories of an agrarian land dispute and a young servant who sacrifices her own well-being to raise an abandoned child. Bertolt Brecht masterfully employs historification and distancing to reveal the hidden (and not so hidden) oppression of the powerless by the powerful. We are challenged not only to see the inequality inherent in power structures, but also to find ways to change our relationship to those structures—to find our way to justice, fairness, and compassion in the face of overwhelming odds.


Berkeley Dance Project 2020

Directed by Lisa Wymore

February 20–29, 2020

Exploring the intersections of dance and community, the annual TDPS dance concert poses critical questions for our divisive times: How can dance create inclusive exchanges between audiences and performers? How can dance making be a form of community making? How do communities use dance performance to bring forth new narratives and framings of the world? The program features new dance pieces by Bay Area choreographers Lisa Wymore, Latanya Tigner, and Erik Lee; emerging student choreographers Joyce Chan and Eden Cayabyab; and student dance groups Maya and Fei Tian Dancers.


The Arsonists

By Max Frisch

Translated by Alistair Beaton

Directed by Patrick Russell

March 12–13, 2020*

Durham Studio Theater

In a nameless town. At an unknown time. A community is on edge as arsonists wreak havoc in the night, going door to door, setting homes ablaze. When the self-assured businessman Biedermann finds himself with the arsonists on his doorstep, will he be prepared for their cunning and coercive tactics?

As timeless as it is timely, Max Frisch’s cautionary comic parable on greed, apathy, and the power of persuasion has the urgency of a ticking time bomb.

*Performances scheduled for March 14–15 were cancelled due to COVID-19.


Snowflakes, or Rare White People

By Dustin Chinn

Directed by Mina Morita

On-Demand Audio Play: May 1–20, 2020*

Delivered with a medium shaped in the early 20th century and captured in our 21st century during this unprecedented pandemic, this play takes us to 23rd-Century Nueva New York. In the city, the remaining white American population is protected by the federal government. Two of the last are brought to the Museum of Natural History as a living exhibit in the Hall of Caucasian Peoples, only to be freed by a sympathetic gift shop employee. Is society ready for their return?

Inspired by the Hall of Asian Peoples at the American Museum of Natural History and articles bemoaning the "dwindling majority" of white Americans, Chinn's play cleverly explores American conceptions of race and ethnicity, representation, and the precariousness of social status.

*In-person performances scheduled for April 24 – May 3 were cancelled due to COVID-19.

2018/2019

70 Scenes of Halloween

By Jeffrey M. Jones

Directed by Christopher Herold

October 11–14, 2018

Zellerbach Playhouse

70 Scenes of Halloween is a spooky, scrambled, and sly comedy that transforms the unraveling of a marriage into a frighteningly funny romp. A young couple seems set to spend Halloween on their couch in a state of mild boredom. But dark forces emerge and they must contend with ghosts and witches banging on windows and wielding butcher knives.

The turbulent tale is told in 70 brief scenes played out of order, resulting in a wild, dreamlike ride. One minute, the couple is greeting trick-or-treaters, and the next, they are succumbing to inner demons. Husbands become wolves and wives become phantoms in a haunted home that offers a weirdly comical and thought-provoking glimpse into the nature of relationships.


Tartuffe

By Molière

Directed by Domenique Lozano

November 9–11, 2018*

Zellerbach Playhouse

A con man disguised as a pious spiritual leader wheedles his way into the home of a gullible wealthy man in the midst of a mid-life crisis—and promptly sets the household topsy turvy. If not for quick-witted Dorine, grounded Elmire, and patient Cléante, all might be lost! Lechery, egotism, young love, deception, and delusion collide in Molière's famous classic work that skewers religious hypocrisy and self-inflated egotism.

*Performances scheduled for November 16–18 were cancelled due to wildfire smoke.


Berkeley Dance Project 2019: the body remembers

Directed by Joe Goode

From a haunting solo to a 10-dancer mosaic, the works in BDP 2019 represent a wide range of sources and styles: Goode incorporates spoken word and song into a piece based on the buddhist concept of "the undefended heart;" Tangen brings attention to local indigenous histories and perspectives; Tigner honors choreographer Ruth Beckford, recognized as the mother of African diasporic dance in the Bay Area; and Hill draws from supernatural elements of her Jamaican Maroon ancestry.

The House of the Spirits

By Caridad Svich

Based on the novel by Isabel Allende

Directed by Michael Socrates Moran

April 26 – May 5, 2019

The House of the Spirits follows three generations of the Trueba family — their loves, their ambitions, their spiritual quests, and their place in the post-colonial social and political turmoil embroiling South America. This darkly poetic adaptation incorporates magical realism to weave the personal and the political into a universal story of love, magic, and fate.

By Mary Zimmerman

In Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses, tales from Ovid come to magical life in all their playful, passionate, savage, elemental glory.
