Magic Theatre & Oregon Shakespeare Festival proudly co-present this historic trilogy by MacArthur genius Luis Alfaro.
A new Luis Alfaro play is always something to get excited about. In the past five years, Magic Theatre audiences have been treated to his electrifying barrio remixes of ancient Greek tragedies, Oedipus el Rey and the Medea update Bruja. Now Alfaro starts a whole new trilogy, This Golden State, co-commissioned by the Magic and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Alfaro plans to explore different grand, sweeping themes of American life through the lens of a Latino family that’s been living in the Western states since before they were part of the United States. In Part One: Delano, Alfaro tackles religion and community in a story about a pastor and his wife who return to Delano, California, to take over a congregation in disarray.

Magic Theatre is at Magic Theatre, Fort Mason Center | 2 Marina Boulevard, Building D | San Francisco, CA 94123, San Francisco, NY.
Now celebrating its 55th year of continuous operation, Magic is dedicated to creative risk: we cultivate bold new plays and playwrights to produce explosive, entertaining, and ideologically robust stories that ask substantive questions about our place in humanity. Magic provides a nurturing yet rigorous artistic home where innovative writers can create a body of work. We believe that developing an evolved artistic vocabulary with the playwright at our side, over a long period of time, greatly improves a playwright’s chances to thrive. We believe that, by adding vanguard voices to the canon and expanding access to new theatre-goers, we ensure the future vibrancy of the American theatre.
