August Tour: The Neighborhood Theatre Project

  • San Jose Museum of Art 110 South Market Street San Jose, CA United States (map)

Five short plays inspired by San José community members, their experiences with COVID, and the issues we're facing together

The Neighborhood Theatre Project is a completely original theatrical experience that explores experiences we have felt as a community over the past two years. Created with the help from youth, parents, teachers, elders--everyone who makes up our neighborhoods--we are proud to bring these performances to life.

After hosting workshops, focus groups, and community interviews, our local writers have written five unique plays inspired by San José residents and their pandemic experiences.

This is the first part of NTP touring, where we will are lucky to be able to perform at Tabard Theatre.

The five plays: Living in Fear, School Cycle, I Leave You Words, I Worry, Flowers in a Pandemic

Written by Marissa Martinez, Enrique R. Muñoz, and Kimberly Piet. Directed by Matt Casey and John-Carlo Guevara

Starring: Julia Baraona, Clarisse Bautista, John Marcelino, Tiffany Nwogu, Kimberly Piet, Angela Sarabia

Designers: Anissa Balderas, Dominique Evangelista, Andy Sandoval

Stage Manager: Danae Stahlnecker
