Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady (Presented by San Francisco Playhouse)

The poster for Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady. Against a black background, a red carnation sits with petals floating through the air.

Based on the film adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is a beautiful musical about transformation, patronage, gender politics and class. Acclaimed phonetician Henry Higgins makes a wager that in six months he can pass off Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, as a duchess at an embassy ball. But through arduous training, day and night, this innocuous bet turns into something much more.

Shotgun Players Presents YELLOW FACE by David Henry Hwang & Directed by Daniel J Eslick. This sharp-witted, semi-autobiographical comedy follows playwright DHH as he accidentally casts a white actor in an Asian role. Inspired by the real-life controversy over the casting of Broadway’s Miss Saigon, and blending satire with faux-documentary flair, Yellow Face unpacks identity, hypocrisy, and the complexity of representation in America—with hilarious and poignant results.⁠

AXIS Dance Company and Catie Cuan Robotics Showcase (Presented by Stanford Live)

In the foreground, AXIS Dancer JanpiStar lies backwards and belly-forwards on top of their manual wheelchair, holding one arm on the ground as they twist their torso upwards to extend one long, silver telescoping crutch into the air. Behind them, Alaja mirrors this gesture by placing one telescopic crutch on the ground; using this to support their weight as they lift one leg up into a high arabesque that is parallel to Janpi’s crutch.

Text: Photo by Rob Suguitan of JanpiStar & Alaja Badalich

A female dancer wearing shorts, a cropped top and a white blouse, balances on pointe shoes. She slightly leans backward while her gaze lifts to teh sky. The text reads Smuin Contemporary Ballet, Amy Seiwert Artistic Director.

Exciting premieres and old favorites define Dance Series 2. Artistic Director Amy Seiwert creates a World Premiere, her 13th ballet for the Company. Trey McIntyre returns to Smuin with the Bay Area premiere of his Wild Sweet Love, an ode to the ups and downs of love set to a range of music from Mendelssohn to Queen. McIntyre’s “fertility of invention and modernity of spirit” (The New York Times) is no stranger to Smuin, and we’re delighted to add another of his ballets to our repertory. Completing the program is a pair of favorites: Michael Smuin’s Rodin-inspired The Eternal Idol, originally choreographed for American Ballet Theatre superstars Cynthia Gregory and Ivan Nagy and Smuin Alum Rex Wheeler’s spritely, springy Sinfonietta.

This is an ADA-accessible venue.

A female dancer wearing shorts, a cropped top and a white blouse, balances on pointe shoes. She slightly leans backward while her gaze lifts to teh sky. The text reads Smuin Contemporary Ballet, Amy Seiwert Artistic Director.

Exciting premieres and old favorites define Dance Series 2. Artistic Director Amy Seiwert creates a World Premiere, her 13th ballet for the Company. Trey McIntyre returns to Smuin with the Bay Area premiere of his Wild Sweet Love, an ode to the ups and downs of love set to a range of music from Mendelssohn to Queen. McIntyre’s “fertility of invention and modernity of spirit” (The New York Times) is no stranger to Smuin, and we’re delighted to add another of his ballets to our repertory. Completing the program is a pair of favorites: Michael Smuin’s Rodin-inspired The Eternal Idol, originally choreographed for American Ballet Theatre superstars Cynthia Gregory and Ivan Nagy and Smuin Alum Rex Wheeler’s spritely, springy Sinfonietta.

This is an ADA-accessible venue.

ASL Interpreted performance.
