Playwright's New Works Project

"Sympathetic Magic is one of this season’s deepest and most resonant shows."
~ Capital Public Radio's Morning Edition

 

 

 

 

A Christmas Carol

by Doris Baizley
directed by Frank Condon

"Carol soars at River Stage ... a visual feast ... simply stunning ... swirl of entertainment."
~ The Sacramento Bee

 

 

 

 

Playwright's New Works Project

Porchmonkey
by Kim Dunbar
directed by Gregg Daniels

"Collaborative process designed to refine new works … The play deals with the extensive but little–known history of African American jockeys, along with a young African American woman’s developing sense of self. … Seven of the previous 12 works appearing at the Playwright’s Festival eventually have received full productions by River Stage."
~ Marcus Crowder, The Sacramento Bee

 

 

 

 

Bertolt Brecht's Berlin

The Exception and the Rule
by Bertolt Brecht
directed by Frank Condon

The Berlin Cabaret
by Bob Irvin and Frank Condon
directed by Frank Condon

"strong works, strong show ... perfectly Brechtian ..."
~ The Sacramento Bee

"This is a valuable and timely show: funny, smart and seditious, entertaining and a smart kick in the pants. … Condon and River Stage have set the standard again. This show is recommended."
~ Sacramento News & Review

 

 

 

 

Texas

by Judy Soo Hoo
directed by Jerry and Gabriel Montoya

"… scores points about the hollowness of macho swagger and bleak life in the low-income underbelly of America -something we don't often see on stage -- where unskilled immigrants take up smelly jobs that most of us don't want."
~ Capital Public Radio's Morning Edition
