Marin Theatre Company announces a first-time partnership with A.C.T. and Magic Theatre. Tarell Alvin McCraney’s trilogy, The Brother/Sister Plays, will receive its West Coast premiere at the three theaters in the fall of 2010. The three interconnected plays introduced a brilliant new American voice this season, causing the Chicago Tribune to state “surely the greatest piece of writing by an American playwright under 30 in a generation or more.” Click here for more details.
