"Bulrusher"
From the event description:
Set in 1955, Bulrusher is an orphaned multi-racial girl who was found floating in a basket on the river as an infant in the town of Boonville, north of San Francisco. She is now 18 and struggling to find her place. Her gift of clairvoyance and her race have made her an outsider in this predominantly white town. Just when she thinks this small world might stifle her, a mysterious and alluring black girl from Alabama arrives. Soon, the secrets and racial tensions that have been simmering beneath the surface of the town will be exposed, and Bulrusher will discover an entirely new place in her identity.

"Washer/Dryer"
From the event description:
"Washer/Dryer" by Nandita Shenoy is a delicious farce of a fairy tale about a modern Indian-American woman who elopes with a Chinese-American man only to realize that happily-ever-after is much more challenging when you're living on an actor's salary and trying to hold onto an apartment that has the most coveted of amenities -- its own washer/dryer. A colorful cast of nosy neighbors and a disapproving mother-in-law take the dual-ethnicity couple for a spin in this rom-com about "Crazy Poor Asians." Under the pressures of culture and tradition, they discover that they haven't been entirely honest with each other or themselves, and must decide if all is really fair in love and real estate.
When: Friday, Sept. 6, 8 p.m.
Where: Theatre Off Jackson, 409 Seventh Ave. South
Price: $6
