'Bulrusher' was premiered in New York in March 2006. The strange juxtaposition of the prosaic trials of adolescence and the urgent radicalism of the family politics is also what gives the show its own distinctive identity. The playwright conveys with some welcome complexity the power of many variants of intimacy, with their contending and complementary strands of anger and desire, rebellion and love. So I know dad’s here watching over us, he may be ‘resting his eyes’ as he always put it, but he’s here.” 'Bulrusher', set in 1955, is a coming-of-age narrative in which the title character, abandoned as a baby and taken in by strangers, navigates a world where she finds herself increasingly outside the mainstream of Boonville, California, the small country town where she was raised. She is grateful to have the ability to share this gift of a story that champions the importance of representation on stage and in life. It’s just your average black macrobiotic revolutionary dancing family. 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 Bulrusher's heart. In the hands of director Marion McClinton... TITLE 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. Most recently, she has spent her creative energy melting peoples faces off with her brass band, Artesian Rumble Arkestra in Olympia and diving into stand-up. Directed by Leah C. Bulrusher has the kind of satisfying, uplifting ending you can only find in live theater—vibrant, poetic, immediate and thrilling.” – Bay Area News GroupON BREAKING CHARACTER Our Picks for The 2019/20 Season: K-12 EditionFelicia LucasApril 23, 2019 Musical StyleN/A (Not a musical) Vocal DemandsN/A (Not a musical) Chorus SizeN/A (Not a musical) ©2022 Concord Theatricals Ayo Tushinde, she/her (Bulrusher) Bulrusher is Ayo’s Intiman debut.
