LETTERS TO HOME, a new musical featuring book, music and lyrics by Grace McCauley, will be performed at The New York Theater Festival for July 16, 19 and 20. LETTERS TO HOME, a project of deep personal significance that sheds light on the power of home we all have within us, tells the story of Grace, a regular at the local mental hospital, who must decide whether to carry on the identity of her mother’s choices or move forward with her own life by confronting her inner child who is writing her letters ten years earlier. This autobiographical story is a searing and unapologetic reminder of the hope, resilience, tenderness, and self-trust that we are all capable of in the face of isolation and dismissal.

Artistic Director Bill English shrewdly chose Evita as the 2023-24 season finale to coincide with our upcoming national election. The rags to riches rise of Eva Duarte Peron, her populist adoration, the looting of the country, and the dismantling of the democratic process are startlingly prescient today. English and dramaturgist Juan Rebuffo collaborate on presenting an even-handed perspective of Evita with all her inconsistencies, challenges, and successes. And the result in anoyhert winner for SF Playhouse.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
