Waterfall at Potrero Stage

Waterfall is a new fully scored opera by composer Lisa Scola Prosek, presented by The Playground Free Play Festival. The opera tells the haunting story of San Francisco poet Laura Hothkiss Brown, who leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge after scattering her poems into the wind, exploring the blurred boundaries between memory, dreams, and reality through her original poems. The production stars soprano Kayla Wilfong as Laura and baritone Bradley Kynard, joined by ensemble members Joseph Meyers, Lola Miller, and Perri So, with Geoffrey Lee leading the chamber ensemble from the piano and John Kendall Bailey conducting. The opera is directed by Jim Cave with stage design by Thomas Prosek, and runs approximately 55 minutes.
