Written and performed by Julia Brothers on commission for the San Francisco Playhouse, “I Was Right Here” showcases Brothers’ life, memories and fears compressed into an endearing 70 minutes. Using a free-flowing storyline, the play is both individual to Brothers and universally relatable, never feeling too much like an autobiography, but rather, an exploration of some of life’s biggest questions. 
The stage is simply set with two conjoined train seats in stark contrast to a black background. Upon one seat sits Brothers, accompanied by a large purse. The minimal setting is the perfect blank slate for Brothers’ stories, which will come to life with her lavish use of language.  ....

They had no power to decide. A statue of Sims remains standing prominently in Montgomery. – Photo: Yalonda M. James, SF Chronicle

If you were an actor, a stagehand or, like me, an observer at a rehearsal for San Francisco Playhouse and Lorraine Hansberry Theatre’s “Hieroglyph,” you had to get three negative COVID tests on three separate days before even being allowed into the theater.
Then, once inside, you had to undergo another COVID test and get your temperature taken. You’d be told which zones of San Francisco Playhouse’s Union Square venue you were allowed inside one zone for actors, stage manager and backstage crew; another for everyone else. ....

A new play
[hieroglyph] by Erika Dickerson-Despenza makes its streaming debut with performances beginning March 13. The San Francisco Playhouse and Lorraine Hansberry Theatre co-production is directed by the latter’s artistic director Margo Hall.
[hieroglyph] features Jamella Cross, Safiya Fredericks, Khary L. Moye, and Anna Marie Sharpe and was filmed at SFP.

With her mother still in New Orleans committed to the fight for Black land ownership and her father committed to starting a new life in the Midwest, divorce threatens to further separate a family already torn apart. ....
