Jaki Bradley directs the world premiere of Jessica Huang's Mother of Exiles at the Berkeley Rep's Peet's Theatre. Developed with support from the Venturous Playwright Fellowship at Berkeley Rep's The Ground Floor in New York, the story spans 165 years, following one family across generations as they navigate a treacherous path to safety from the different forces seeking to exile them.

Returning after a much lauded premiere in 2024, Mere Mortals is a collaboration between Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton and DJ and composer Floating Points. Combining classical orchestral music and EDM, the work is a reimagining of the ancient Greek tale of Pandora's Box, adapting it to the modern era in which we live.

Following its New York debut, San Francisco Playhouse stages Kesselring Prize-winning playwright Candrice Jones's FLEX, a compelling and inspiring new play about the hoops and hurdles faced by a high school girls' basketball team from Arkansas. The Lady Train team dreams of becoming professional basketball players, but from the outset are beset by the challenges of marginalization, being young black female athletes from a rural hometown. Will their personal struggles outside the court fracture their unity, or can they stand united through thick and thin?
