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.

We are lucky to be able to perform at downtown San Jose for SOUTH First Friday. Come find us on the Art Walk with other talented local artists!

Written by Kimberly Piet and Marissa Martinez

Directed by Matt Casey and John-Carlo Guevara

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