April starts right off with plays from the city’s two venerable LGBTQ theaters, Theatre Rhinoceros and New Conservatory Theatre Center, followed by a world premiere at one of San Francisco’s most experimental companies, Cutting Ball Theater and the literary troupe Word for Word’s return at last after the pandemic hiatus.
"Locusts Have No King"Meanwhile, across Market Street, New Conservatory’s production of J. Julian Christopher’s quasi-comedy is of a different stripe entirely. In it, two closeted gay couples meet for dinner. But that’s just for starters. The title is from the Book of Proverbs, so that’s a hint that there are layers of stuff going on here, including complicated relationships and a shared secret among the four men. Richard A. Mosqueda directs.
Qui Nguyen’s “Vietgone” was a hit for American Conservatory Theater in 2018. Now the playwright is back with the followup to that tale of a Vietnamese family that emigrates from Saigon to rural Arkansas during the Vietnam War. This one – the second in a trilogy based on the playwright’s own family – is set in 1981 and includes hip-hop, martial arts and plenty of comedy. It’s directed by Jaime Castañeda; local favorites Jomar Tagatac and Will Dao are among the eight-member cast.
April 13-May 21. Cutting Ball Theater, EXIT on Taylor, 277 Taylor St., San Francisco. $15-$35. 525-1205. [email protected]
