DNA 2023 LINEUP WEEK 1 Nov. 30 – Dec. 3 "Suburban Black Girl" By Zakiya Young Directed by Jacole Kitchen 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov 30 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec 2 Zakiya Young is the poster child for racial reconciliation. She code switches with lightning speed. White sorority? Like, no prob. A Black and Latino church with a white pastor? She’ll praise God in Spanish! Broadway? Is it color blind casting or an all-Black show? Doesn’t matter because this suburban Black girl has mastered the art of being ‘non-threatening.’ But when COVID lockdowns put a spotlight on police killing unarmed Black people, everything she suppressed begins seeping out like an infected wound. "Human Museum" By Miyoko Conley Directed by Jesca Prudencio 7 p.m. Friday, Dec 1 and 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec 3 Set in a future where humans have gone extinct, Human Museum follows a group of robots on Earth that run a museum dedicated to organizing the physical and digital artifacts of human life. On the centenary of human extinction, a sudden radio call upends everything the robots thought they knew about the last days of humanity. Human Museum explores what we will leave behind when we’re gone, and who will carry on our legacy.

Layered with disarming metaphors, historical details, and personal musings, 59 Acres takes you on a meditation through the physical, cultural and geographical landscapes we inhabit, while searching for the extraordinary in the mundane. WEEK 2 Dec. 5-10 "McNeal" Written and Directed by Ayad Akhtar 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec 7 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec 9 Good writers borrow, great writers steal. Jacob McNeal is one of the greatest writers, a perpetual candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. McNeal also has an estranged son, a new novel, plenty of old axes to grind, stage 2 liver failure and an unhealthy fascination with Artificial Intelligence. Pulitzer Prize winner Ayad Akhtar’s new play is a keenly-observed and wickedly smart examination of the inescapable humanity – and increasing inhumanity – of our stories. "To Red Tendons" By Peter Kim George Directed by Kat Yen 7 p.m. Friday, Dec 8 and 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec 10 We still don’t know how to talk about what happened in Los Angeles on April 29, 1992, and it’s a problem. A group of young actors come together to re-enact a “primal scene” from the Los Angeles unrest in 1992 using elements of group psychotherapy. Why don’t liberals acknowledge American empire? How do the unseen parts of empire structure what is visible? We’re just trying to live. To Red Tendons deals with seething anger turned inward, and a desire for reconciliation.  "Sound Place Love" Created by Braden Abraham and Gordon Hempton Based on recordings by Gordon Hempton, The Sound Tracker Directed by Braden Abraham 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec 5 and 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec 6 A Without Walls work-in-progress!
