And a little bit sci-fi.
anthropology has its
Bay Area premiere!
ANTHROPOLOGY
City Lights proudly presents the regional premiere of Lauren Gunderson’s thriller “anthropology,” through June 7! In her Silicon Valley home office, Merril believes in patterns and systems. But her life as a hotshot coder falls apart when her sister Angie vanishes. After the police abandon their search, Merril gathers the digital material her sister left behind and creates an AI composite. The virtual Angie is a comfort. Until it starts to reveal new details about the disappearance.

Our new season starts in September! Four plays and two musicals guaranteed to spark joy, stir debate, and keep the conversations going long after the lights go down: Eureka Day, The 1940s Radio Hour, Based on a Totally True Story, Arsenic and Old Lace, Dream Hou$e, and Company. If you already have a pass, you can set up your seats online. Here’s how.
LIGHTS UP! New PLAYS & MAKERS
New plays. Unforgettable stories. And your feedback. City Lights’ annual “Lights Up!” festival is back, with dynamic staged readings of two new scripts, followed by an audience talkback where you help the playwrights shape their work. Readings are script-in-hand, but often so immersive and vivid that audiences forget the actors are holding something.
In addition, the theater hosts a maker fair with local artists, with tables and mingling before and in between the two play readings. It’s a terrific community tradition! “Lights Up!” is generously supported by Elaine Baskin and Ken Krechmer.
Join us on Sunday, June 14, starting at 1 p.m. Tickets for all the day’s events are $20 general and $10 for students.
