Josephine Louis Theater

A powerful exploration of justice, community, and truth embodying the Wirtz Center’s commitment to performance as a lens for understanding the world.
By Emily Mann Directed by Georgette Verdin
This docudrama on the assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected public official in the country,&nbsp;uses&nbsp;court transcripts and public records to&nbsp;dramatize&nbsp;the trial of this controversial case. Focus is on accused killer Dan White, a disgruntled former city supervisor, and on the jury, which chose to convict him not of cold-blooded murder but of manslaughter, in what became known as the notorious “Twinkie defense.”&nbsp;
Approximate run time: 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission Suggested ages: 14+

Ethel M. Barber Theater

A celebration of imagination and courage, echoing the Wirtz Center’s mission to elevate bold young voices and empower the artists of tomorrow.
Book by Dennis Kelly Music and Lyrics by Tim Minchin Directed and Choreographed by Jamel Booth
Inspired by the twisted genius of the fantastical British author, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl’s&nbsp;Matilda The Musical&nbsp;revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination,&nbsp;and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence,&nbsp;and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, Miss Honey. The two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however&nbsp;—&nbsp;the school’s mean&nbsp;headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts and could be the school pupils’ saving grace! Packed with high-energy dance numbers&nbsp;and&nbsp;catchy songs,&nbsp;Matilda the Musical&nbsp;is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults&nbsp;alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

Centered in the Wirtz Center’s mission to develop new work, my conscience is clear uses dance to ask how our values move through the world — and whether our conscience truly is clear.
Artistic Direction by Thomas F. DeFrantz
Join us for the Danceworks 2027 exploration of doing good and meaning well! What happens when we share our beliefs and desires through dance? Can we make a better world? And how can we move with ethical clarity and intention to help others and share the bounty of life?&nbsp;Is this something you do every day?&nbsp;Is your conscience clear?&nbsp;&nbsp;
