.@AuroraTheatreCo might be in the midst of an emergency fundraising campaign needed to mount future seasons, but one sign that the 32-year-old Berkeley company is betting on hitting its goal is that it’s moving ahead with a 2024-25 lineup: https://t.co/ASGn2TIpqv

As ever @lizduffyadams has wit that cuts like a knife in “Born w/Teeth” @AuroraTheatreCo #Shakespeare

[Patrick Thomas @2_On_The_Aisle]

75 minutes of sensational acting in a terrific, thrilling play. I encourage you to go see #BornWithTeeth @AuroraTheatreCo. Need more convincing? Read my review @TalkinBroadway: https://t.co/5j6dRB96LQ

[Lizzy (@someonelizz on BlueSky too) @someonelizz]

I just saw the play Born with Teeth which is about Shakespeare and Kit Marlowe flirting and making out with each other. Marlowe had black nail polish and evil twink energy so obviously I had a great time

⁦@lizduffyadams⁩’ “Born With Teeth captures the lightning in a bottle of artistic creation—what it feels like to wrest words from the ether and get turbocharged by it, to sublimate what you really long for into metaphor”

Bay Area! Don’t miss this! https://t.co/SRoV5aQHUh

@halvorsen If you're looking at smaller-than-LORT, here at Aurora Theatre Company in Berkeley we've ended unpaid internships and have started a paid Fellowship program instead, but so far only have funding for two Fellows per season (thanks to a single donor).

Centering BIPOC stories and characters is not an act of hostility against white people (despite what some white people apparently believe).

[josh costello @joshfc]

OK, it just stopped (after at least two minutes, maybe more) and is restarting.

I dropped my #Pixel 4a and it started making a very loud noise; won't stop and won't turn on, unresponsive to power and power/vol up. #help #android #troubleshooting It's a very loud tone, seems designed to get attention in an emergency. #techhelp
