Our Practical Heaven Artwork
Thursday, January 31 | 8:00 pm 
Aurora Theatre | 2081 Addison St. | Showing through March 3
 
Three generations of family gather over three holidays in a home none of them expects to long survive the rising sea. They do chores, text each other, and dance. They watch the birds and watch each other, while struggling for loyalty, legacy, and turf. By the end, everything has shifted and a new generation is in charge, but of what? Our Practical Heaven, developed from Aurora's annual Global Age Project, addresses the changing tides of communication, gender roles, and society in a place where even the notions of home and family remain fluid. 

The Wild Bride
Saturday, January 26 - Sunday, February 17 | 
Berkeley Repertory Theater | 2025 Addison St.
 
The Wild Bride is back! The smash hit that ran away with hearts last winter returns for a honeymoon engagement in 2013. Kneehigh Theatre comes back to America with a stunning show that asks...What happens when your father accidentally sells you to the devil? The San Francisco Chronicle raves, "Bride is a gift that keeps on giving. What starts in an enchanted, bluesy folktale world dips into creepy nightmare terrain and sails aloft on wings of grit, resolution and fantasy. It's a fairy tale for adults." Don't miss this devilish mix of vivid music and sweet romance.
