(in)credibility
A new curriculum explores media literacy through collaborative, devised storytelling. Blending aspects of Theatre of the Oppressed, Restorative / Transformative Justice, and Playback Theatre, (in)credibility attempts to delineate the points at which fact becomes fiction, distortion, or deception. Currently developed with Bay Area high school students, this curriculum will be re-structured to work with college students, adult / creative aging organizations, and incarcerated arts groups.
Formerly entitled Mobiüs, this project was awarded a California Arts Commission Impact Project Grant as well as a Theatre Bay Area CA$H Creates Grant.
The national hit returns for a full weekend of hilarious and heart-warming stories. With sold out runs in New York and San Francisco, Crushing showcases first-person monologues about formative experiences in love, performed by their original authors.
Executive Produced by Rosario Dawson and produced by Megan Calfas, Carly Steyer & Natachi Onwuamaegbu, this audience favorite is now a resident project with The Forum Collective. Previous writers have included Ashley J. Hobbs, Dylan Zwickel, Sam Sax, Mia Diawara, Garrett Schlichte, Brotha Keef & Shameeka “Smeek” Wilson-Brown.

A Most Violent Year
Devised by full teams and curators alike, a series of twelve one-shot short films explore dangerous, albeit newsworthy, moments throughout 2026. Leaning into metaphor and emotional truth as opposed to violent imagery, these vignettes mirror the overall fear that different populations hold in a world of tension and shifting ideas of safety. A Most Violent Year will create a unique timeline with every short inspired by a specific month this year.
