SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Opera Conservatory: Le nozze di Figaro
DESCRIPTION:It’s a wedding\, and you’re invited! \nA contemporary production of Le Nozze di Figaro reimagines the classic opera in a modern context\, blending traditional elements with innovative staging and design and modern dress Set against a backdrop of a sleek\, minimalist environment\, this production will highlight themes of class struggle and gender dynamics through a contemporary lens. From Figaro and famously sharp banter to the Count’s unsettling attempts to exert power over Susanna\, this production will crackle with wit while lifting up ever-relevant themes of inequality\, consent and agency in relationships\, and gender dynamics. And while no marriage is perfect…that of Mozart’s music and Da Ponte’s text comes exceedingly close in ways brilliant\, bawdy\, and bold (just as Beaumarchais intended back in 1778). This production invigorates Mozart’s masterpiece\, inviting audiences to reflect on its themes within the context of our modern sensibilities. Please join us for this musically sublime tragicomedy exploring life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of upending the patriarchy.
