Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE covers themes of shameful betrayal, informing on friends, and the dilemma of immigration that are as resonant today as they were when the play premiered in 1955. Of all Miller’s plays, A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE is his most successful in modeling the format of the Greek Tragedy, American style. The theatrical experience of this political allegory will stimulate thought, discussion, and will add to the audiences’ political and theatrical base of knowledge.

Broadway By the Bay will continue its 44th season with a lavish production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King & I. Based on the novel Anna and the King of Siam, this captivating musical is the true story of Anna Leonowens, a British school teacher, who arrived in Bangkok in 1862 with her son at the behest of King Mongkut to teach his own children and wives English and culture. Considered one of the greatest musical love stories of our time, The King & I is a richly textured and uplifting tale with a gorgeous score that includes the songs "Getting to Know You," "Shall We Dance," and "Hello Young Lovers." Winner of 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, The King & I was proclaimed as "a beautiful excursion into the rich splendors of the Far East" by The New York Times when it opened on Broadway in 1951.

Golden Thread Productions presents the world premiere of ECSTASY | a waterfable, a new play commissioned to Bay Area theatre artist Denmo Ibrahim and directed by Evren Odcikin. Inspired by 9th century Sufi fable, "When the Waters Were Changed" , the stories are written in water, spells are cast through washing, and to drink either creates your life or rips it from you. In this dangerous water world, three uniquely lost characters struggle to remember and pray to forget. A man devotes his life’s work to a tragically simple task. A young woman is haunted by past images not her own. And an elder, submerged in a flood of old pictures, fights to remember a story that slowly seduces her into it.

A revealing backstage comedy from the Tony Award-winning author of M Butterfly, David Henry Hwang. Lauded as “Wickedly funny. . . a brilliant play” by The Hollywood Reporter, YELLOW FACE tells the story of Asian activist and playwright D.H.H. (based on Hwang himself) who mistakenly casts a non-Asian actor in an Asian role in his new play. While resorting to, at times, convoluted solutions to avoid scrutiny from his contemporaries, D.H.H. is ultimately forced to reconsider his concept of his own Asian American identity in the mixed-up melting pot of contemporary America. Part fact, part fiction, provocative yet full of heart, this Obie Award winner mirrors Hwang’s personal struggle with cultural identity, with self-deprecating humor. Broadway star Francis Jue will reprise his award-winning performance as D.H.H.’s immigrant father. In 2008, YELLOW FACE gave Hwang his third Obie Award in Playwriting and made him a third-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Contains mature language.
