Master director John Doyle, whose dazzling interpretation of Sweeney Todd electrified A.C.T. and Broadway audiences, returns with a bold new interpretation of Brecht’s moving tale of love and power. In the land of Caucasus, a servant girl saves the life of an abandoned baby boy. But when the wealthy mother returns to claim him, their fates lie in the hands of a wily, unpredictable judge whose concern for the poor is rivaled only by his concern for saving his own hide. Featuring Doyle’s signature theatricality and an original score, The Caucasian Chalk Circle soars with humor, romance, unexpected plot twists, and high-stakes intensity.

The American Conservatory Theater Master of Fine Arts Program presents Glen Berger’s inventive play O Lovely Glowworm, or Scenes of Great Beauty, directed by Alex Harvey. Award-winning playwright Glen Berger weaves a whimsical, poetic narrative of love-struck soldiers, mermaids, unicorns, a contemplative goat, and a hapless inventor attempting to devise a self-cleaning toilet, all on a fantastical quest for the meaning of existence. Set in a small corner of Ireland circa 1918 and suffused with music from World War I, O Lovely Glowworm is a joyously inventive celebration of humanity.

Cadillacs, caballeros, and some outrageous visitations combine for one spectacular birthday party when TheatreWorks, the nationally acclaimed theater of Silicon Valley, presents the West Coast premiere of the exuberant, rollicking new comedy, SUNSETS AND MARGARITAS, by José Cruz González. Gregorio Serrano has his hands full with his overly assimilated family. So when his father, Calendario crashes his cherished red Cadillac through the wall of his restaurant, it’s pretty clear that it’s time to settle papa into a senior living center. But is it just Papa Calendario, or is Gregorio’s whole family spinning out of control? From his lesbian Republican daughter and her still unnamed infant daughter (Ashleigh, Amber, or Courtney are strong contenders), to his wheel-chair bound, fashion designing, Chicano activist son, to his own erratic visions of the Blessed Virgin and frequent episodes of hyperventilation that make paper bags a must-have accessory, maybe a little bit of “loco” runs in the family. This delightful comic confección with a heart of pure gold received its world premiere in April, 2009 at the Denver Center Theatre Company, where the Denver Post called it “pure escapism… with big heart.” Contains Mature Language.

Academy Award winner Olympia Dukakis (Steel Magnolias, A.C.T.'s Hecuba) and beloved Bay Area veteran actor Marco Barricelli return to A.C.T. in this deliciously dark comedy. When an embittered, self-involved bachelor arrives to care for the dying aunt he hasn't seen since childhood, his brief visit stretches to interminable lengths. As her health improves against all odds—and against his hopes—their relationship evolves in unexpected ways. A tour de force from the creator of the runaway hit The Overcoat, Vigil offers an uncanny balance of gallows humor and grave ruminations on family, identity, and the human condition.

Spectacular egos, painful compromises, and burning desire. What more could anyone ask from a life of true drama? Finding the humor in the everyday misery, this production breathes fire into Chekhov'’s classic about a theatrical family that eats one of its own. Chekhov’s first play, The Seagull was his unabashed love letter to the theater. He wrote it with a transparency and force that still rattles the bones of the modern cannon. The piece is subtitled, A Comedy in Four Acts, and while the themes are certainly tragic – suicide attempts, unrequited love, a crushing and disabling family structure, both Chekhov and Mann mine humor from the truth of human longing. All of us have something that we want too badly, and hopeless desires, while painful up close, gain a raw comedic value from afar.
