Description

MARISOL

by Jose Rivera

Directed by Bruce Avery

 

Marisol by Jose Rivera is a dip into the chaos and hope of the 21st Century. In an interview

about Marisol Jose Rivera shared his impetus for writing the play:

“This is the first play I’ve written with an eye on the next generation. We need to find new

heroes and new myths for our society – the old ones just aren’t working.”

 

Written in 1992, this play prophetically imagined our world today. As we crawl out from

our COVID dens and meet the masked world of today the last line of Marisol echoes: ”Oh

God, what light. What possibilities. What hope.” San Francisco State University, School of

Theatre & Dance presents Marisol in tribute to its students who faced the challenges of the

COVID nightmare and dared to hope.

 

The San Francisco State University School of Theatre & Dance is the fertile ground in which the

dance and theatre artists of the 21st century grow. SFSU students are exposed to the practical

skills, knowledge, compassion and spirit of artistic inquiry that lead to the creation of resonant,

viable art. SFSU is a community partner with the vibrant Bay Area theatre and dance

community, offering its students opportunities to work and grow both at the university and

within the local art community.

Friday – Friday @ 7:00pm plus a matinee performance @ 2:00pm on Saturday, November 13th .
