Photo Flash: First Look at MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE at Magic Theatre

The critically acclaimed New York production, My Name Is Rachel Corrie, comes to San Francisco's Magic Theatre for a limited run, presented by Sawtooth Productions. Created by actor/director Alan Rickman and journalist Katharine Viner, editing material from Corrie's journals, letters, and emails to family and friends, this compelling work follows the 23-year-old as she describes leaving her home in Olympia, Washington to work as an activist in the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Corrie captured international attention when she stood her ground in the path of an armored bulldozer.

My Name Is Rachel Corrie, directed by Jonathan Kane and starring Charlotte Hemmings, will be presented April 27-May 14, 2017 (press opening April 29) at the Magic Theatre, Fort Mason Center, 2 Marina Blvd, San Francisco. There will be post-show talkbacks at select performances featuring the director and star (April 29), and with Rachel's parents, Craig and Cindy Corrie (May 3 & 4). For tickets ($25-$50) and more information the public may visit MagicTheatre.org or call (415) 441-8822.
