SYNOPSIS

The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals. In weekly meetings Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity, reaching decisions only by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?

SYNOPSIS

Playwright Luce has sky-high hopes for her latest script, which examines the complex relationship between Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. To catch the attention of more notable producers, Luce recruits her longtime collaborator (and lover) Mike to direct, and then casts herself and Mike in the lead roles. Their creative visions align at first, but things unravel quickly as they find themselves at odds and deeply entangled in Sally and Tom’s story. Acclaimed playwright and Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks cleverly scrutinizes the realities of American history, past and present, through the lens of American theater.

SEEKING

• LUCE - Female. 20-30s. Black. An actress who is also the writer and Mike’s partner. A leader of the company. She doubles as the role of Sally Hemings.
• MIKE - Male. 20-40s. White. An actor in the company as well as the director of ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’. Also, the partner of the author. Doubles as the role of Thomas Jefferson.

• SCOUT - Female. 20-30s. Asian. The stage manager. Doubles as Polly.
• GEOFF - Male. 20-40s. White. Perhaps a bit of an unlikely actor in the company, he is also doing sets and clothes for the play within the play, as well as doubling as an assortment of white male visitors to Monticello. He tries hard.
• DEVON - Male. 20-40s. Black. A fledgling actor, also doing lights and sound for the production. A turn in the circumstances gives Devon an opportunity that no one planned. Doubles as the role of Nathan, another servant in the Jefferson household.

PICTURES FROM HOME

By Sharr White
Directed by Jonathan Moscone
First Rehearsal: Friday, April 3, 2026
Tech Begins: Thursday, April 30, 2026
First Preview: Thursday, May 7, 2026
Opening: Tuesday, May 12, 2026
Closing: Sunday, May 31, 2026
Possible Extension Closing: Sunday, June 7, 2026

SYNOPSIS

Playwright Sharr White transforms photographer Larry Sultan’s landmark photo memoir for the stage in this new three-character play. In the 1980s, Sultan spent a decade photographing and interviewing his parents and unearthing the memories beneath his family’s home movies. The result is a deeply intimate and comic portrait of a mother, a father, and their son. Though set in the recent past, this poignant and theatrically inventive play is both of-the-moment and timeless.

SEEKING

• LARRY SULTAN - Male. 30-40s. White. A driven, deeply-talented artist whose disarming, enthusiastic sense of inquisitiveness - which can border on the obsessive - leads him to seek out a purity of process rather than a stated result. In other words, his art is a process, a concept that drives his father crazy.
• IRVING SULTAN - OFFER OUT
• JEAN SULTAN - Female. Early 70s. White. Larry’s Mother. The guardrail of the Sultan family and its unacknowledged backbone; at turns charming, sexy, feisty, watchful, quick to face Irv down. She is both Irv’s keeper, sparring partner, and confidant. Crucially, she does the hard work of propping up Irv’s personal myth: that even in retirement, he is a hardworking executive who must be in charge at all times.
