Please help us welcome Marcus Gardley!
Cutting Ball Theater and Playwrights Foundation are thrilled to present ...and Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi, a new play by Marcus Gardley, a New York-based playwright originally from Oakland. Set on the banks of the Mississippi during the Civil War, this play draws inspiration from myth, music, and stories about the playwright's family history that Gardley heard as a child from his great grandmother. In this short interview, Gardley reveals his deeply personal connection to the story and how he brought it to life on the stage.
...and Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi March 12 - April 11
On Saturday, March 20, Marcus Gardley will join us, along with the cast, for an evening of theater followed by an opening gala celebration. We hope you can join us for what is sure to be a fabulous event.

Medea vs. Medea
Thanks to everyone who attended our Medea vs. Medea event in January. After a stimulating afternoon of delicious food, stellar wine and great discussion, Euripides' version came out on top! The event was so successful, in fact, that Rob is considering putting Medea in a future season at Cutting Ball.
