Emeryville is disappearing, piece by piece, and thousands of people with it. No one knows what is happening, but Rahel Al-Noury, an Emeryville Police officer, is determined to find out. As Emeryville continues to vanish, Officer Al-Noury encounters many of those in Emeryville affected by this horror: a female Mariachi singer, a pregnant homeless woman, a cancer patient, a genderqueer teen, a son of Vietnamese farmers, an Ohlone woman. Their lives have one thing in common: the suffering dealt to them by the monstrous abuse of the environment. Will they vanish along with the ground they stand on? Why is Emeryville disappearing and what can be done to stop the Emeryville Horror?
This staged reading of The Emeryville Horror is being made possible by a Community Arts Grant awarded to Same Boat Theater Collective by City of Emeryville. The Emeryville Horror was collaboratively written by the Bay Area playwrights of Same Boat Theater Collective, a new environmental justice theater company dedicated to telling stories of people in Bay Area communities affected by environmental injustice. Immediately following the reading, the audience will be given the opportunity to give valuable feedback to the playwrights to shape the play for future performances.
