See work by San Francisco’s best and brightest young playwrights come alive on the stage. Culled from dozens of submissions by San Francisco high school students, this year’s winning plays are:

Colossians 3:14 by Romolo Wilkinson (SOTA), directed by Kate Gorman, mentored by Susan Jackson
For Rick, it’s just another day: sitting on the beach, drinking a beer, and chatting with Satan himself. But when Rick’s daughter Page makes an appearance, events take a sinister turn.

Mary by Tanea Lunsford (SOTA), directed by Jessica Richards, mentored by Molly Rhodes
Sixteen-year-old Mary James would rather be crushing on boy-next-door Marvin than dealing with her mom’s explosive boyfriend Gary or her less-than-perfect life. But a letter from her long-absent father promises to turn a new page in her life.

Sexy Knees by Santino Garcia (SOTA), directed by Deborah Shaw
Loveable loser Gregory Puddles has a problem: he’s in love. With knees.
Featuring Ted Speros and Karolyn Harrington.

Within the Wall of Sand Sand by Kalson Chan and Benson Ma (Lowell High), directed by Jessica Holt
presented in association with The Threshold Project
Down-and-out couple Milton and Jane check into a deserted motel and soon learn things are more than what they seem. Will they ever be able to escape this Hotel California?
