This summer the department is reviving the production, “Recent Disappearances” written by our very own staff member Alison Ragland. We will be part of the first annual Bay Area Independent Theatre (B.A.I.T) Fringe Festival. We are one of thirteen Bay Area theatre companies performing in the Festival. This play is a disturbing allegory about the fate of innocents-children and animals-who disappear every day. Told with the voices of two girls who are kidnapped, and other young people whose lives are shaped by the pain and loss.
