Chavez and Ava Roy Ondine at Sutro May 1 – June 7th, 2015 Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, 4:30 ­ 7:30pm 680 Point Lobos Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121 Ticket prices: $40 ­ $80 April 7, 2014 (San Francisco, CA): We Players (Artistic Director, Ava Roy; Managing Director, ​ Lauren D. Chavez), presents Jean Giraudoux’s Ondine at Sutro Baths. This site­integrated production ​ ​ is produced in partnership with the Golden Gate National Recreational Area (with whom We Players has been innovating site­integrated theatre since 2008). We Players brings this enchanting love story between a sea spirit and a knight errant to life on the cliffs at Land’s End, where the windswept Monterey Cypress trees tower above and the vast Pacific stretches sparkling to the horizon. Audiences should be prepared to walk; as with all We Players productions, this show is on the move! Action will occur in the ruins of the baths, on the Point Lobos cliffside, and process across the Great Highway into Sutro Heights Park and atop the foundation of Sutro’s former observatory. Ondine at Sutro runs ​ ​ ​ May 1 ­ June 7, 2015. Tickets on sale now. For press reservations or more information call ​ 415.547.0189 or email [email protected]. ​ ​ THRILLING REASONS TO EXPERIENCE ONDINE AT SUTRO BATHS 1) GREAT THEATRE We Players makes thrilling site­integrated theatre that connects people with place. It’s immersive, multi­dimensional, and full sensory! Hamlet on Alcatraz, The Odyssey on Angel ​ ​ ​ ​ Island, Macbeth at Fort Point and now: Ondine at Sutro Baths. We are bringing this magical story ​ ​ ​ ALIVE in one of San Francisco’s most beloved settings. 2) It’s going to be SO MUCH FUN! Immerse yourself in a magical fairy tale. Journey through an enchanted forest! Look for whales spouting off stage! Activate your senses! Salt spray and sunlight...tapestry of coastal colors ­ blooming ice plants and windswept trees...breathe the fresh air, feel the sweet sea breezes, tune in to the crash of waves, the call of seabirds...delight in inspired costumes, a gorgeous musical score, delicious language, and a story that will make your heart swell. Cue miraculous sunset at the end of the journey! 3) SUTRO IS SPECTACULAR Gaze out over the vast Pacific. Look for otters in the lagoon and herons lurking in the marsh grasses. Explore modern ruins of the once­opulent public baths and imagine yourself in the Sutro Baths heyday…. Feel the ghosts of swimmers diving and splashing in the world’s largest saltwater baths. Once upon a time, Sutro Baths boasted seven pools each heated to different temperatures plus a bizarre museum of Sutro’s personal collection of taxidermied specimens and other oddities. Imagine that! 119 years after Sutro opened, party with We Players like it's 1896! ​ ​ 4) It’s a classic! You love old, magical stories as much as We do! ­ We can rely on stories that have already withstood the test of time ­ the story of Ondine is ancient, dating back to France in the 1300s ­ Ondine is born of the lineage of feminine water spirits. Her original name is “Melusine”. ­ Ondine lives on today in everything from The Little Mermaid to the Starbucks logo ­ Melusine with her two tails! ­ The original 1811 novella "UNDINE" was translated into many languages and found in libraries ​ all over the world! EXPERIENCING THE BAY AREA WITH WE PLAYERS As with recent and ongoing collaborations at other National Park Sites (Alcatraz Island 2009­2011, Fort Point 2013­2014, SF Maritime 2011­2017, Marin Headlands 2014­current/ongoing) We Players hopes to entice locals to visit places often left to tourists, and to experience them anew ­­ while offering all visitors a unique way to explore Bay Area sites. "An essential goal of our work is to inspire in our audience personal relationships with the places in which we play," says Artistic Director Ava Roy. Ms. Roy describes Sutro as a perfect location for this playful tale of love and enchantment. She explains, “this simple fable is an allegorical exploration of man’s relationship with the natural world.” Set at San Francisco’s Land’s End, where civilization meets the vast expanse of the Pacific, Roy asserts, “audiences will experience visible and visceral reminders of the mystery and majesty of the sea, and will leave with enhanced appreciation for this stunning and iconic San Francisco site.” ABOUT ONDINE AT SUTRO Ondine is a tragic love story between a mystical creature of the depths and a mortal man of hubris. ​ Worlds collide, the natural world flirts with the established social order and immortal powers plunge into the realm of mortals. Staged in and around the eroded foundations of the massive buildings and grand swimming pools of Sutro Baths and Sutro Heights Park, audiences will move with the action of the play, exploring the park environs while immersed in the enchanted realm of Ondine. Of the title ​ ​ character Roy explains, “Ondine is pure, elemental – she feels everything but is haunted by nothing. She is seeking something intrinsically human to ground her in the currents of an immortal existence.” While this story of the water spirit that craves a human soul is a fairy­tale motif, Giraudoux (the play’s author) explains that “the play becomes the tragedy of man divorced from nature and stultified by his confinement within the strictly human sphere.” ABOUT WE PLAYERS We Players was recently recognized by Backstage.com as one of seven companies around the globe ​ ​ producing groundbreaking immersive theatre. We Players was also honored by San Francisco Magazine with the “Best of the Bay” pick for their unique site­specific performance work noting, “We Players didn’t just break the fourth wall, it toppled the whole playhouse.” Our mission is to create site­integrated performances that transform public spaces into realms of participatory theatre, in an effort to engage with history and the environment, build community, and activate personal relationships with place. Our work inspires, awakens the senses, and connects people with ​ each other and the environment. We Players is a Bay Area arts non­profit founded in 2000 at ​ Stanford University by Ava Roy, and managed by Ava Roy and Lauren Dietrich Chavez since 2009.

The area at the western edge of San Francisco which was to become Ocean Beach was one of the earliest amusement resorts on the West Coast. This area, which included once famous landmarks including the Cliff House, Sutro Baths and Museum and Playland-at-the-Beach, began as a 19th Century squatter’s settlement known as “Mooneysville-by-the-Sea.” The Cliff House has been through five major incarnations since its beginnings in 1858. That year, Samuel Brannan, a prosperous ex-Mormon elder from Maine, bought lumber salvaged from a ship that foundered on the basalt cliffs below for $1,500. With this material he built the first Cliff House. The second Cliff House was built for Captain Junius G.

  • Sutro Baths: a San Francisco Must See | 1
    Sutro Baths: A San Francisco Must See | 1 The Sutro Baths was a large, privately owned public saltwater swimming pool complex in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District in western San Francisco, California. Built in 1896, it is located near the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, and Sutro Heights Park. The facility burned down in June 1966 and is now in ruins. The site is within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Sutro Historic District.

To know I am walking along stones built so long ago was such a satisfactory and fulfilling feeling that made me think of how wonderful it would be to see this amazing establishment rebuilt. Also in reading the history of Sutro Baths you began to realize how unreal it is that Sutro’s properties were constantly burning down as if God wasn’t going to allow him to effortlessly benefit from the land he took from the indigenous people known as The Yelamu Ohlone tribe. © 2018 AUDRA MICHELLE Sutro Baths: A San Francisco Must See | 5 @audraamichelle The Yelamu lived at Lands End before Spanish settlement began in 1776.
