WELGA's
Closes this Saturday!
This
is your last chance to see the
show audiences have hailed as
"inspired...emotional...moving."
Tickets are going fast for the
final four shows of Welga,
Thursday - Friday, 8pm;
Saturday, 2pm &
8pm.
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.
We
are tremendously grateful for
our community partners, not
only for helping to promote
the show, but for
actually influencing its
content. Their feedback was
instrumental in shaping the
play. But most importantly, we
are grateful for the important
work that Migrante
SOMA/TL,
YOHANA
(Youth Organizing Home and
Neighborhood Action), and
APALA
(Asian Pacific American Labor
Alliance) do for the
community.
Don't
miss your chance to watch a
play that pays tribute to
our community's
resilience and indomitable
spirit.

MUMU
is Almost
Here!
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.
