A Thousand Ships
December 13, 2024 - January 5, 2025
From the beloved playwright of black odyssey and screenwriter for The Color Purple comes an extraordinary tale of friendship between two Black women and their families, from their wartime work in the Oakland shipyards to the fulfillment of a dream: their own hair salon.
Infused with glorious music and vocals from composer Molly Holm and Gardley’s signature humor and pathos, this deeply moving, heartwarming tale is a love letter to Oakland and a meditation on loss, renewal, and the healing power of community.
