Opening Night of WELGA - SOLD OUT!

Tickets Still Available, Oct 7-21

 

 

Thank you to everyone who bought tickets for tonight's SOLD OUT performance of Welga! Special thanks to our sponsor, Inay Filipino Kitchen, who will be catering tonight's reception.

 

There are plenty of tickets left for our remaining eight performances, including our special Saturday matinee on Oct 21st at 2pm and our closing performance at 8pm, which will be followed immediately by a free catered reception for the cast/crew and audience members.

 

Bindlestiff Studio - located in the heart of SOMA Pilipinas - serves as the perfect venue for the world premiere of Conrad Panganiban’s Welga, a Filipino American coming-of-age story of a high school teen, Johnny Montalban, whose dreams of becoming a famous musician clash with his mother's dream of him first earning his diploma. Set in San Francisco's SoMA Neighborhood, the play explores family conflict against the backdrop of today's educational system, ongoing community pressures, and the legacy of Filipinos in the farm labor movement that sparked the 1965 Delano Grape Strike.

 

Tickets on sale now!

Susmaryosep & Co. with Bindlestiff Studio present MUMU, an otherwise experience

Oct 27 - Nov 18

 

 
We all have ghosts.
 
MUMU debuts at Bindlestiff Studio, resurrecting the rituals of evocation and exploring the textures of fear. A beautiful multi-sensory, art-theater experience, MUMU is a celebration of death and a meditation of our darker selves, creating new rituals and stories.

It’s 1977 in San Francisco, and a young Filipino immigrant follows his poetry into the shadows. Through an ominous soundscape and immersive space, this exploration of our unknown darkness reveals an intimate story of connection, cultural psyche, and death… this is our inquiry of everything that haunts us as a people.
