I've got two awesome tickets for the ACT play "After
the War" tonight at the Geary Theater. The show starts
at 8 PM. First one to reply gets them for free.
Tickets are at Will Call.

The seats are Dress Circle, front row, center. I'd
hate for them to go to waste!

WORLD PREMIERE
After the War
by Philip Kan Gotanda
Directed by Carey Perloff

Fillmore Street. San Francisco. 1946. A place to call
home?

When more than 100,000 Japanese Americans were
imprisoned by the U.S. government during World War II,
San Francisco's bustling Japantown suddenly became an
urban ghost town. African Americans from the
neighboring Fillmore District, rural whites from the
Midwest, and other societal outcasts began to fill the
vacant neighborhood. But what happened when the
Japanese Americans came back?
In this world premiere commissioned and developed by
A.C.T., Philip Kan Gotanda (The Wash, A.C.T.'s Yohen)
portrays an unexpected grouping of characters as they
struggle to revive a community shattered by the
effects of the war. Radiantly hopeful,
heart-wrenchingly honest, and deeply infused with the
jazz rhythms of the neighborhood, After the War is a
powerful valentine to San Francisco—and to the
everyday people who built this city with their lives,
loves, and stories.


Running time: 2 hours, 40 minutes, one intermission
