Please Note:
Please know that masks must be worn at all times while in the Center for the Performing Arts, including during the duration of the performance. Patrons who arrive after a performance has started for a Westhoff Theatre production may be seated at the discretion of the House Manager. Depending on the nature of the show, late seating may only be available at intermission, or not available at all. This policy is for the safety of our patrons and actors due to the intimate nature of the space as entering the theatre requires walking on the stage.

Event Information:
In 1955, in the redwood country north of San Francisco, a multiracial girl grows up in a predominantly white town whose residents pepper their speech with the historical dialect of Boontling. Found floating in a basket on the river as an infant, Bulrusher is an orphan with a gift for clairvoyance that makes her feel like a stranger even amongst the strange: the taciturn schoolteacher who adopted her, the madam who runs her brothel with a fierce discipline, the logger with a zest for horses and women, and the guitar-slinging boy who is after the heart of Bulrusher. Just when she thought her world might close in on her, she discovers an entirely new sense of self when a black girl from Alabama comes to town. Passionate, lyrical, and chock full of down-home humor, this play is an unforgettable experience by a new, thrilling voice.
