But there is an eerie factor, as they are now followed by a mysterious stranger who forces the couple to deeply examine their marriage both present and past. The company’s answer two years ago was to release the show as a radio play, but Golden Thread is now ready for the in-person production in its U.S. premiere, which provides a glimpse into the lives of contemporary Iranians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13918382\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/RedShades.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13918382 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/RedShades-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/RedShades-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/RedShades-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/RedShades-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/RedShades-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/RedShades-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/RedShades.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tommy Clifford-Carlos as Ida in ‘The Red Shades,’ in which a trans teen escapes her small town and finds herself among a gang of trans superheroes in the Tenderloin. \u003ccite>(Tristan Crane)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘\u003ca href=\"http://www.zspace.org/\">The Red Shades: A Trans Superhero Rock Opera\u003c/a>’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Oct. 13-Nov. 5\u003cbr>\nZ Space, San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe world premiere of \u003cem>The Red Shades\u003c/em> takes the thrill of musical theater and fuses it with a rock concert.

Still, a plethora of feel-good hits and some delightful insight into the story of the iconic Motown group make for a fun evening of nostalgia—and a second chance to score tickets after the Rep’s multiple sold-out extensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13918387\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Thanksgiving-Play.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13918387\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Thanksgiving-Play-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"a woman dressed in grey sits in a folding chair outside a small trailer\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Thanksgiving-Play-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Thanksgiving-Play-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Thanksgiving-Play-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Thanksgiving-Play-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Thanksgiving-Play-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Thanksgiving-Play.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Playwright Larissa Fasthorse, whose satirical ‘Thanksgiving Play’ opens Nov. 17 at the City Lights Theater Company in San Jose. \u003ccite>(John D. & Catherine T.

In an article about the co-production \u003ca href=\"https://www.americantheatre.org/2021/03/11/a-heiroglyph-from-another-time-of-trauma/\">in \u003cem>American Theatre Magazine\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, San Francisco Playhouse’s artistic director Bill English describes the process for getting this kiss approved by Actor’s Equity, including a period of enforced solitary quarantine for the two actors involved, and filming their scene out of sequence before coming into contact with the other actors.

Having had to adapt the script to the unique production circumstances, Dickerson-Despenza gives even these off-stage characters lives of their own. And if occasionally a line telegraphs a message rather than an emotion, the actors still make their essence feel completely genuine. Lighting flourishes by Kevin Myrick and dramatic sound design by Everett Elton Bradman imbue the production with an extra layer of theatricality, and the savvy costume design by Regina Evans turns the clock back to 2005: white sneakers and fuzzy sweaters for the teenagers, chunky elegant jewelry and long tunics for ms. t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13894020\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13894020\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cast of ‘[hieroglyph]’ with playwright Erika Dickerson-Despenza. \u003ccite>(Jessica Palopoli)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This co-production between San Francisco Playhouse and the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre represents a momentous collaboration.

Having had to adapt the script to the unique production circumstances, Dickerson-Despenza gives even these off-stage characters lives of their own. And if occasionally a line telegraphs a message rather than an emotion, the actors still make their essence feel completely genuine. Lighting flourishes by Kevin Myrick and dramatic sound design by Everett Elton Bradman imbue the production with an extra layer of theatricality, and the savvy costume design by Regina Evans turns the clock back to 2005: white sneakers and fuzzy sweaters for the teenagers, chunky elegant jewelry and long tunics for ms. t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13894020\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13894020\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/SFP-LHT_hieroglyph_Jessica-Palopoli17-scaled-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cast of ‘[hieroglyph]’ with playwright Erika Dickerson-Despenza. \u003ccite>(Jessica Palopoli)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This co-production between San Francisco Playhouse and the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre represents a momentous collaboration.

It makes use of San Francisco Playhouse’s trialing of fully-filmed productions under a unique contract with Actor’s Equity.

He’d already toyed with the idea of a show in which four interconnected stories come together in a blockbuster ending. Why not write it for the radio? When he brought the idea to the rest of the company, they quickly approved, and the company’s 10-episode serial radio drama, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmt.org/talesoftheresistance\">\u003cem>Tales of the Resistance\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As company member, Velina Brown had already been on deck to direct their live show this year, and she gamely took the lead on directing the radio series, working closely with sound engineer Taylor Gonzalez and music director Daniel Savio. After becoming frustrated with Zoom as a rehearsal platform due to its delays and bandwidth usage, they hit upon using Discord, a chatroom app popular with gamers. This made it possible, Brown says, to rehearse with fewer delays and glitches by using Discord’s audio-only features, all while developing their own radio play “vocabulary” as a group. That vocabulary was passed over to Sullivan, for directing their brand new holiday play, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmt.org/a-red-carol\">\u003cem>A Red Carol\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (which opened Dec. 11).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13890057\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13890057\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-800x440.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-800x440.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-1020x561.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-160x88.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-768x423.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drunk Theatre Company on the PianoFight Gather “mainstage.” \u003ccite>(Nicole Gluckstern)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And Discord isn’t the only gaming interface being used by theater-makers.

He’d already toyed with the idea of a show in which four interconnected stories come together in a blockbuster ending. Why not write it for the radio? When he brought the idea to the rest of the company, they quickly approved, and the company’s 10-episode serial radio drama, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmt.org/talesoftheresistance\">\u003cem>Tales of the Resistance\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As company member, Velina Brown had already been on deck to direct their live show this year, and she gamely took the lead on directing the radio series, working closely with sound engineer Taylor Gonzalez and music director Daniel Savio. After becoming frustrated with Zoom as a rehearsal platform due to its delays and bandwidth usage, they hit upon using Discord, a chatroom app popular with gamers. This made it possible, Brown says, to rehearse with fewer delays and glitches by using Discord’s audio-only features, all while developing their own radio play “vocabulary” as a group. That vocabulary was passed over to Sullivan, for directing their brand new holiday play, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmt.org/a-red-carol\">\u003cem>A Red Carol\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (which opened Dec. 11).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13890057\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13890057\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-800x440.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-800x440.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-1020x561.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-160x88.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern-768x423.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/PianoFight_DrunkImprov_Gather_Screenshot_NicoleGluckstern.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drunk Theatre Company on the PianoFight Gather “mainstage.” \u003ccite>(Nicole Gluckstern)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And Discord isn’t the only gaming interface being used by theater-makers.
