Author Kevin Killian mounts a new, and in his words “half-assed" production of one of his most perfect plays, Box of Rain (2012). It’s the old story of a San Francisco art gallery at a crossroads, with plenty of tears, chuckles, reversals and a fax machine connected directly to hell. Join us for an all-star cast performance.

About CCA's Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice
CCA’s Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice is newly relocated to Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, a dynamic arts institution in downtown San Francisco. The move projects learning beyond the walls of the academy, taking advantage of the rich cultural context of the Bay Area and providing a unique environment for training curators. Graduate seminars are held at YBCA inside the Curatorial Research Bureau, a combined bookshop, academic site, and public program where students intersect with changing book inventories, participate in programs, and meet visiting practitioners from the Bay Area and beyond.
