If San Francisco Collapses is a new documentary theatre play about the San Francisco Bay Area and technology. Eight San Franciscans, aged 20 to 76, were interviewed about the identity of their city and how technology changes culture/their personhood. Their words were recorded and became part of this larger tapestry - consisting of figurative recollections, dreamlike memories, heartbreaks, collective joys, and calls to action.

Original “IF SAN FRANCISCO COLLAPSES” jazz score by Mikayla Brown and the Fillmore Jazz Ambassadors.
