"Tokens became a kind of stepping back to the essence of theater, a creation of art from the panorama of human experience." -Alan Rich, California Magazine
In the wake of COVID, a call has come to revive TOKENS: A PLAY ON THE PLAGUE to speak to a new generation about the tragedy of loss and the cosmic luck of survival. Written by David Schein, with music composed and arranged by Candace Natvig English and Schein, TOKENS took the Bay Area by storm in 1985 with its polyrhythmic music, haunting choral songs, interactive staging, ecstatic dance and brilliant physical acting.
Now, the writer, David Schein, and original director, Robert Ernst, invite you to a reading/singing revival that tells the story of the production and its modern day potential for stage and screen.
This showcase aims to inspire producers and supporters to bring TOKENS to a national or international audience.
Please join us for the reading/singing revival showcase on April 24th and 25th, 2024 at 7:30pm at SPACE 124 in Project Artaud at 401 Alabama Street., San Francisco, CA.
