April 24th and 25th, 2024 7:30pm
SPACE 124 in Project Artaud, 401 Alabama St. San Francisco 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. Now the originators, David Schein and Robert Ernst, invite you to a reading/singing revival - telling the story of the production and it’s modern-day potential for stage and screen. Tokens, written by David Schein, with music composed and arranged by Candace Natvig English and Schein, took the Bay Area by storm in 1985 with its polyrhythmic music, haunting choral songs, interactive staging, ecstatic dance and brilliant physical acting. This revival aims to inspire producers and supporters to bring Tokens to a national or international audience. The time has come again to stage or film this brilliant work.

"Brilliant, powerful theater." – Nancy Scott, San Francisco Examiner “I think a revival of Tokens is a great idea,” – Whoopi Goldberg (original producer) |
