Skylight
written by David Hare
directed by artistic director Patrick Dooley 

"You love people because you don't have to go home with them... You love them because you don't have to commit."

David Hare's Skylight unravels the complexity of modern romance. Can two people salvage their passion without sacrificing their ideals? Which is ultimately more important? The best love stories aren't clean and simple. They're the ones that make it hurt so good.

Faust Part 1
written & directed by Mark Jackson 

"That cursed brood, mankind, simply won't be stifled"

Writer/director Mark Jackson returns to Shotgun Players with his new adaptation! Jackson's epic focuses the action on the triangle between Faust, Mephistopheles, and the beautiful Gretchen.  The comic/tragic story of how the bored, famous Faust finds renewed life in his "love" for a young commoner, ending in her death, begs a question at once personal, social, and political. Are we willing to look into our personal actions and how they impact the world outside of ourselves?

This World In A Woman's Hands
written by Marcus Gardley
directed by Aaron Davidman, musical score by Molly Holm

The creative team that brought you Love Is A Dream House In Lorin returns with another play about our local community.  Playwright Marcus Gardley and composer Molly Holm are creating a musical play that explores the lives of the women who worked in the Richmond Shipyards during World War II - who became collectively known as Rosie the Riveter.

"I hope to give voice to the untold stories of my grandparents and the many people who worked in the Richmond shipyards 60 years ago. It is not only a story that is aching to be told but it is one that depicts and celebrates a vital turning point in Bay Area History."

The real women and their stories are as transcendent and powerful as the famous icon of Rosie the Riveter herself.
