DRAMATURGS NOTE

Blood isn’t always thicker than water.

The House of Bernarda Alba is a dramatic tragedy that follows the journey of Bernarda and her five daughters through a period of mourning in Spain in 1936. Set in a matriarchal household, Bernarda rules with an iron fist, and the audience will witness the suffocating, repressed environment Bernarda’s daughters must live under. For Bernarda’s power, control and reputation is everything, and whatever she says must be obeyed. But she will soon find out that not everything is as it seems within the confines of her meticulously controlled world.

The play serves as a reminder of the consequences of denying one’s true self in the face of societal pressure. This can be seen through the experience of each of the five daughters, who are trapped in the same tyrannically ruled household, unable to pursue their own aspirations. The daughters, each with her own hopes, dreams, and desires, are all forced to navigate the treacherous waters of family duty and societal expectations. This story explores the complexities of female relationships, exposing the delicate balance between loyalty, rebellion, obedience, and defiance. The House of Bernarda Alba shows us the true nature of human relationships, revealing the fragile bonds that hold families together and the destructive forces that threaten to tear them apart. As tensions escalate and the façade of responsibility begins to crumble, the Alba family is forced to confront the painful truth that lies at the heart of their existence. In the haunting echoes of the play’s final moments, we are left to ponder the profound implications of our choices and the vulnerability of the human spirit to succumb to overwhelming challenges.

From the playwright who brought us Happy comes a whimsical comedy about love, aging, bad luck, and airport security. Sara’s having a bad week. Really bad! The light bulbs in her apartment keep burning out; there’s a leak in the roof; the aquarium is full of dead fish; the cat’s gone AWOL, and her father—who chased off her last beau—is suspicious of Tom, their new neighbor, a TSA agent who just brought Sara home from the emergency room on New Year’s Eve with a fractured fifth metatarsal. As Tom’s attraction to Sara increases, he learns of the bizarre streak of bad luck that’s been haunting Sara for years—twenty-two years, to be precise.

Creepy, crawly, scary fun! A spook-tacular selection of short horror films by student filmmakers from the San Diego State University Television, Film, and New Media Production program.

Lucky Me

A masterpiece of the modern theater, The House of Bernarda Alba was written in 1936, just before the start of the Spanish Civil War. The play takes place in a small village in southern Spain following the funeral of Bernarda Alba’s second husband. After the mourners depart, the tyrannical matriarch announces to her five daughters that their period of mourning will last eight years. Obsessed with family honor, Bernarda rules the household with an iron fist, but all of her daughters secretly harbor a passion for Pepe el Romano, the handsomest man in the village. The eldest daughter is engaged to him, but the arrangement is a financial one, and it is the youngest daughter, Adela, who has a secret that threatens familial bonds. When the truth finally breaks through the atmosphere of suppressed desire, jealousy, anger, and fear, the consequences are tragic.

Take a Seat!

SDSU performing arts invites you to take part in an exciting opportunity to support its new Performing Arts District in a meaningful way by participating in the Take A Seat campaign.

You have the opportunity to Take A Seat in the spotlight and enjoy having your name, a sentiment, anniversary date, or the name of another person you wish to honor laser-engraved on an elegant nameplate placed on one of the theater seats. Your sponsorship will support performances, students, faculty, and the greatest needs of the SDSU performing arts program.

The engraving you select promises that you or your loved one will be a visible part of this dynamic Performing Arts District for years to come.
