Now in its 18th season, PlayGround identifies a select group of the Bay Area's best emerging professional playwrights and asks them to submit original ten-page plays -- all on a pre-determined single topic. From those submissions, six short works are chosen for staged readings to be performed by leading local directors and actors each month. Pre-show discussions provide further insight into the chosen topic, the writers' processes and more. Learn More

Unfortunately, the show drags and drags. Too much music between scenes and the fifth scene is all music. I thought it'd never end.Written on Mar 08 2007

More Information About To The Lighthouse
Description
Last season, director Les Waters gave Bay Area audiences a breathtaking production of The Glass Menagerie. Now the Obie Award-winning director reflects upon another family with To The Lighthouse, a world-premiere adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s landmark novel. Waters and his cast bring Woolf’s incandescent characters to life on stage, and brilliant new music by Paul Dresher further illuminates the Ramsay house. Here, a couple lives, loves and endures; children play, fight and grow; and a painter struggles to capture the transient beauty of daily life.
The Artists
Known as both an essayist and novelist, Virginia Woolf’s innovative style exploded the boundaries of prose to shed light on the inner lives of women through works that include A Room of One’s Own, Mrs. Dalloway and Orlando.
Director Les Waters won an Obie at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for Big Love. The New York Times placed his production of Eurydice at Yale Rep among the Top 10 Plays of 2006, and Time Out New York named his off-Broadway production of Apparition one of the Best 5 Plays of 2005. Last year, he directed Rita Moreno in Berkeley Rep’s hit revival of The Glass Menagerie.
Composer Paul Dresher is just back from India. His work has been heard around the world—including at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the New York Philharmonic and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. A current Guggenheim fellow, he has applied his signature style to collaborations with diverse artists such as choreographer Margaret Jenkins, poet June Jordan, playwright Charles Mee and director Robert Woodruff.
Playwright Adele Edling Shank is known for her six-play cycle, The California Series. The editor of TheatreForum and head of the playwriting program at UC San Diego, she also wrote Rocks in Her Pocket, which features the ghosts of Diane Arbus, Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf.
The cast includes Broadway performers Monique Fowler, Edmond Genest and Rebecca Watson, as well as several hot local talents.
