- Our Price:

In her short life, African American playwright and author Lorraine Hansberry left behind many unfinished manuscripts along with her brilliant theater works A Raisin in the Sun and The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window. After her death in 1965 at the age of 34, her ex-husband Robert Nemiroff became her literary executor and adapted her writings into the play To Be Young, Gifted and Black which opened Off Broadway in 1969. Multi Ethnic Theater's cast of eight actors will recreate Hansberry's life, with each female actor taking turns depicting the writer at different stages of her life. Learn More

Description
Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell (Jan 21 - Feb 19, 2011)
Bay Area Premiere
This unique collection of the master monologist’s work (“Swimming to Cambodia”) catapults the audience into the hilarious, heartbreaking, and ultimately remarkable life of one of the most irreverent and revered storytellers of our time. A five-person ensemble performs the beloved classics and never-before-heard stories that embrace the wit and wisdom found in the words of Spalding Gray.
M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang (March 18 - April 16, 2011)
An Unforgettable Drama
The most bizarre fact of this incredible play is that it is based on a true story. A French diplomat carried on a twenty-year affair with a Chinese actor and opera singer, not realizing that his partner was in fact a man masquerading as a woman. From these basic facts comes a sensational drama that wonders how such an event could happen, and what stereotypes create the distortion between East and West, as well as between men and women. Interwoven with illusions to the Puccini opera, "Madame Butterfly,” "M. Butterfly" is a highly theatrical story of love and betrayal set during China’s Cultural Revolution.
Candide of California by Voltaire (May 13 - June 5, 2011)
Modernized and adapted by Brian Katz
World Premiere
In this best of all possible countries, in this best of all possible worlds, lived a young man called Candide who was sure everything that happens is for the best. Sadly for our hero, the rest of the world has a slightly different outlook. This fast-paced, scatological, ensemble-based modernization proves that Voltaire's sarcastic, bitterly dark, hysterically funny novella is more than timeless; it is, in fact, about our very here and now!
