Circuit Network/Dan Wolf & Carlos Aguirre (Felonious)
THE BAG, by the hip-hop theater ensemble Felonious, explores commodification, ageism, and survival through the eyes of an almost washed-up band. Presented in San Francisco by Circuit Network in spring 2026 as a series of workshop performances, the production will serve as a precursor to a potential 2026–27 regional theater run.

The Silent Assassin is an intimate, theatrical exploration of addiction — revealing how its pervasive and camouflaged grip, particularly within already marginalized and disenfranchised communities, is both deeply personal and universally felt, yet ultimately can be overcome.

Project Quantum Heart is a participatory play-game following assistant professor Em Wong, who after being denied tenure, applies to be a video game designer—only to slip into the game’s landscape, a shadow realm. A Bay Area workshop production and community “belonging toolkit” exploring healing through theatrical storytelling, community ritual, and immersive technology will be presented in 2026.
KULARTS/Ramon Abad
The Big Whoop Dee Doo, a multimedia theatrical performance and gallery exhibit by Ramon Abad in collaboration with KULARTS, draws inspiration from the “sinulog” parade of the Southern Philippines. Incorporating puppetry, dance, physical theater, live video feeds, and projections, the work explores the stories and struggles of Filipino immigrants.

MACLA/Gabriel Cortez
Between Two Rising Seas is a 75-minute new play written and performed by Gabriel Cortez. Blending spoken word, archival projections, live sample-based music, and personal narrative, this solo performance examines the interconnected histories of migration, labor, and climate crisis through an Afro-Latinx lens. The work will premiere at MACLA in fall 2027.
Yerba Buena Gardens Festival/Abigail Munn
In June 2026, Yerba Buena Gardens Festival and theater-maker Abigail Munn will premiere Resilience (working title), featuring 16 performing artists from Circus Bella with live music by the Circus Bella All-Star Band. This heartwarming, high-flying production celebrates the strength of families — both born and chosen — and the invisible threads that connect us.
Z Space/Weston Scott
JELLYBELLY, a new play by Weston Scott, premieres in workshop at Z Space’s Steindler Stage in August 2026. Born from the “cosmic horror of living in a fat body,” the piece blends vulnerability, dark humor, and technical innovation, marking Scott’s bold reintroduction to the Bay Area theater scene.
