BobrauschenbergAmerica
Synopsis:
takes us on a wild road trip through our American landscape-in a play made as one of America's greatest living artists, Robert Rauschenberg, might have conceived it if he had been a playwright instead of a painter: a collage of people and places and music and dancing, of love stories and picnics and business schemes and shootings and chicken jokes and golfing, and of the sheer exhilaration of living in a country where people make up their lives as they go.

Culture Of Desire
Synopsis:
andy Warhol goes to hell in Culture of Desire, the latest performance piece by anne Bogart and her SITI Company. What he finds there is obsessive consumerism and crassly cynical opportunism: the hallmarks of his artful life spat back at him, in other words, to reveal the essential emptiness of both the art and the life. Culture of Desire answers the oft-repeated question "Is it soup or is it art?" with a resounding "SOUP!" It's a fascinating and valid deconstruction of the career of one of the most important figures in recent American cultural history

Going, Going, Gone
Synopsis:
erratic quantum physics mix with torrid sexual gambits at the ultimate cocktail party of the century. as the social occasion unravels over too many martinis, so too do the absolute truths of Newtonian physics, leaving two couples to play out their dangerous games in a world of uncertainty, relativity and parallel universes. Inspired by recent scientific writings, this expressionist performance explores our perilous balancing act between salvation and destruction.

Radio Macbeth
Synopsis:
Co-directed by SITI artistic director anne Bogart and sound designer Darron L West, Radio Macbeth brings a fresh take to Shakespeare's briefest and most magnetic tragedy. Conceived as a play-within-a-radio-play-within-a-play, Radio Macbeth takes places late at night in the guts of an abandoned theater, where actors gather to rehearse. Darkness plays tricks on their minds making the imagination churn, and the ghosts that have haunted the story since the play's inception flicker and glow. the actors cling to the sanity of the words as the chaos of history becomes undeniably present in the room.

Score
Synopsis:
Score is a play about passion-the passion that exists between a man and his music. Director anne Bogart creates an extraordinary theatrical tour-de-force that chronicles the ideas and obsessions of one of America's greatest figures-Leonard Bernstein. a distinguished conductor, a dedicated teacher, and a composer of rare skill and ability, Bernstein's work is breathtaking in its range and scope-from renowned interpretations of Beethoven and Mahler to his own musical creations, West Side Story and On the Waterfront. Score, adapted by Jocelyn Clarke from Bernstein's writings, stars long-time SITI Company member Tom Nelis in a remarkable study of ecstasy, genius and the power of great music

War Of the Worlds
Synopsis:
His radio broadcast War of the Worlds sent Americans into hystErical panic. He took Hollywood by storm with Citizen Kane, a larger-than-life film about a mover-and-shaker not so very different from himself. Mercurial, controversial, inspiring, infuriating -- Orson Welles entranced and enraged everyone. His fall from grace mirrored the magnitude of his talent -- and the massiveness of an ego steered straight to self-destruction. Director anne Bogart, her remarkable SITI Company, and playwright Naomi Iizuka join forces to explore the myth and myth-maker, charlatanism and genius of Orson Welles.
Notes:
Conceived by Anne Bogart, created by the SITI Company, written by Naomi Iizuka
