Balboa Building

A 3-day dramatic reading of new play by renowned Bay Area poet and scholar, Judy Grahn.

This Ecopoetic, Epic Drama will be performed by a cast of 12 actors at the historic Balboa Building Auditorium.

The play draws on Mesopotamian mythologies, Gnostic gospels, the Tarot, American classics, and from the fields of science, medicine and gender studies. The Queen of Cups has called for a Conference of Changes. Among attendees will be the planet Earth Ma, the goddess of love Helena, Mary Magdalen, Whirling, the half-Bird Boatsman Oracle, the Scientist Simon, the headless ghost of John, Boot the Dog, and a chorus of Microbes. This conference of characters must address pressing world issues, and do so with humor in a discourse of ecology, queer studies, animal rights, and lost histories. Afternoon tea served and a Tea Talk with author after each show.
