SUMMARY:'A Number' now playing at Aurora Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A Number\n\n\nBy Caryl Churchill  |   Directed By Barbara Damashek\n\nAurora Theatre\n2081 Addison St\n\n\n“What a tremendous play this is\, moving\, thought-provoking and dramatically thrilling.” ~Daily Telegraph\n\n\n\n\nBernard has just discovered that he’s not the only Bernard: he’s been cloned. By a marvel of genetic science\, Bernard’s father was able to make faithful copies of his beloved son. Soon Bernard\, his father\, and the duplicate Bernards are swept up in a compelling and emotional quest to find the truth of the matter\, and the truth of what matters. Caryl Churchill artfully reveals a multifaceted psychological puzzle\, taking on human cloning to explore identity\, family relationships\, and second chances.\n\n\nGet Tickets

SUMMARY:Ida Lupino: Hard\, Fast\, and Beautiful Coming to BAMPFA
DESCRIPTION:Ida Lupino: Hard\, Fast\, and Beautiful\n\n\nBAMPFA\n\n\n\n\nJanuary 13th – February 24th\n\n\n\nStart this new year off learning about Ida Lupino – through this selection of films\, featuring Lupino’s acting\, writing\, production and direction. \nEnergetic\, resourceful\, and intelligent\, Ida Lupino (1918-1995) left her indelible impression on cinema from both sides of the camera. Despite her success as an actor\, Lupino was frustrated by the lack of interesting parts for women and the constraints of the studio system. In 1947 she left Warner Bros.\, and as a free agent began writing\, producing\, and ultimately directing films in addition to acting. \nGet Tickets

SUMMARY:Martin Wong: Human Instamatic at BAMPFA
DESCRIPTION:Martin Wong: Human Instamatic\nBAMPFA\nSeptember 20–December 10\, 2017\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition surveys the career of Chinese American painter Martin Wong (1946–1999)\, from his early years painting street portraits in Northern California—where he dubbed himself the “Human Instamatic”—to his role in New York’s gritty downtown art scene in the 1970s and 1980s and his late work in San Francisco before his untimely death from AIDS. \nWong was born in Portland\, Oregon\, and grew up near San Francisco’s Chinatown. After a year at UC Berkeley\, he studied ceramics at Humboldt State University in Eureka. During the 1970s\, dividing his time between Eureka and San Francisco\, he made scroll poems in idiosyncratic calligraphy and designed sets for psychedelic experimental theater groups the Cockettes and Angels of Light.
