By Jeesun Choi
Directed by Keenan Tyler Oliphant
Produced by Sami Pyne

October 13 - October 28, 2023

Two strangers - perhaps a mother and daughter, best friends, or even rivals - encounter each other in an unexpected place. They talk. They argue. They confess. They blame. They question. They tackle, again and again, the stories from their lives. To the Ends of the Earth / 땅끝까지 is a bilingual play about the Korean diaspora and personhood as told by a constellation of women+ characters.

Deepali Gupta:
united states v. gupta

By Deepali Gupta
Directed by Caitlin Sullivan
Produced by Lucy Jackson

November 10 - November 28, 2023

United States v. Gupta is a musical tragedy that attempts to tell the story of Rajat Gupta. In the summer of 2012, Gupta—a former head of McKinsey—was tried, convicted, and incarcerated for insider trading. More than a decade removed from the events of his trial, his youngest daughter, Deepali Gupta, is presenting her own version—in collaboration with director Caitlin Sullivan. What if the courtroom were a theater? What if a juror burst into song? Working with materials that are transcribed, remembered, and imagined, Deepali writes a play that maps a history. And yes—she’s playing herself.
