WELGA's
Roars Into Second Week
of
Three-week Run
The
second weekend of Welga begins
tonight with shows
Thursday-Saturday, 8pm.
Tickets available online
and at-the-door. Don't
miss the show that
audiences are calling
"timely...meaningful...moving."
We
had an amazing debut last
weekend with a sold-out
Opening Night performance.
Big shout out to our
community partners - Migrante
SOMA/TL, YOHANA
(Youth Organizing Home and
Neighborhood Action), and
APALA
(Asian Pacific American
Labor Alliance) - for all
of their support. Please
tune in to Apex
Express tonight at
7pm where playwright,
Conrad Panganiban, and
APALA organizer, Daz
Lamparas, speak about past
and present Filipino labor
struggles that
inspired Welga.
An archive of the show
will be available
tomorrow, Oct
13th.
There
are plenty of tickets
left for our remaining seven
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. But
tickets are going fast. Buy
yours before the show closes
on Oct 21st.
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.

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.
