SOFT POWER will make its Bay Area premiere at San Francisco’s Curran theater (445 Geary Street), June 20 – July 8, 2018. Produced by Center Theatre Group, SOFT POWER comes to Curran after its world premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles from May 3 through June 10, 2018.

Butterfly, Flower Drum Song) and Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home). Directed by Leigh Silverman (Violet) and choreographed by Sam Pinkleton (Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812), SOFT POWER rewinds our recent political history and plays it back, a century later, through the Chinese lens of a future, beloved East-meets-West musical.

  • Mad Forest Was Originally Presented by UPSTREAMING: the Fisher Center at Bard’S Virtual Stage
    This production of Mad Forest was originally presented by UPSTREAMING: the Fisher Center at Bard’s Virtual Stage. Photo credit: Bard student Gavin McKenzie in Mad Forest, courtesy of Fisher Center at Bard. JOIN THE CONVERSATION Join the experience! We invite you to share your real-time feedback during the webcast via the chat/comment feature and on social media. We’ll pass it along to the actors and creative team throughout the performance. @theatreforanewa #MadForestTFANA A NOTE FROM JEFFREY HOROWITZ It is thrilling to be able to work with Gideon, Bard College, and this resilient company of artists on Caryl Churchill’s magnificent play. Faced with nearly overwhelming challenges of deadly disease, their production being disrupted, their college shifting to remote operations, relationships suddenly upended, and government-mandated social distancing, the artists used the constraints of their isolation to continue to create. I saw the 1991 American premiere of Mad Forest directed by Mark Wing-Davey at New York Theatre Workshop. It was brilliant. What Ashley, the cast, and creative team made is something I hadn’t seen before. The company had rehearsed together in person before being separated due to COVID-19 and forced to self-isolate. From their isolation, the company brings to this new production — re-conceived for Zoom — an energy to overcome their isolation. Ashley Tata built on this drive, went back in time to a 1990 play about the 1989 Romanian Revolution and then forward to now, reimagining Mad Forest and minting something new. It’s powerful not because there is a pandemic, but because the artists are exploring in fresh ways how Mad Forest comes alive on Zoom — not as a replacement for live theatre, but as another way performance can happen and a story can be told.

  • Theatrical Reviews Section
    Theatrical Reviews Soft Power. Dir. Leigh Silverman. Play and lyrics by David Henry Hwang. Perf. Francis Jue, Conrad Ricamora, and Alyse Alan Louis. Center Theatre Group (Los Angeles), 2018. Imagine a future in which the United States is no longer a global superpower but, instead, China is, and the rest of the world comes to understand American culture through highly-visualized, -verbalized, and -physicalized gestures generated by Chinese musicals. Commissioned by Los Angeles’ Center Theatre Group for their 50th anniversary season in 2018, David Henry Hwang’s Soft Power asked audiences to do just that, displacing those who are primarily used to, perhaps even unquestioningly comfortable with, the deep-seated stereotypes and assumptions that American popular culture continues to produce about Asia – if only for a few brief hours. In response to the frustrating orientalism and misappropriations found specifically in “Asian” musicals like The King and I and Miss Saigon, Hwang’s work functions as a loving critique of the broad strokes and generalities about Asian countries and cultures that Western musical theater has generated. Through a metatheatrical framing device, color-conscious casting and acting choices, and the excess and exaggeration highlighted by its set design and musical numbers, Soft Power flips the Americentric worldview upside- down to present a complex, farcical representation of America, embracing musical theatre’s form while simultaneously pushing back against the very sociocultural and political power system(s) that produce knowledges about other cultures. In a series of metatheatrical moves, a dramatized version of Hwang named DHH (Francis Jue) serves as the show’s protagonist who meets with a Chinese producer (Xue Xing, played by Conrad Ricamora) about his The Popular Culture Studies Journal, Vol.
