"Spit in Your Face" is a sharp, fearless comedy.

When Tom Leary, Artistic Director of the San Francisco People’s Theatre, commits to making his company more inclusive, he hires the brilliant, and controversial, Mexican director Fernando Calderón to devise a “groundbreaking” new production guaranteed to shake audiences out of their seats.

Enter Liliana Tzintzún, a young Mexican American costume intern suddenly thrust into the role of assistant to the director and into the center of a creative process brimming with ambition, ego, good intentions, and explosive questions.

Witty, provocative, and unflinchingly honest, "Spit in Your Face" asks: Who gets to tell whose story and at what cost?

Come hear the play. Meet the artists. Join the conversation. And be part of building the New Threads community around new work.
