As a result, the agent’s life takes an unexpected turn, and the show draws from Ostowari’s real-life experiences as a spiritual teacher in a local jail, offering insight into the stark contrasts in how our criminal justice system treats white-collar crime. A bold, 70-minute solo work based on a mostly true story, “Grandma’s Million-Dollar Scheme” explores themes of race, class, greed, and redemption, with a touch of mischief and ambition.

About the Instructor: From her earliest memories, Jenny Lauck has always loved making little odd ball friends, using a variety of mediums. After too many years without a creative outlet, Jenny took ceramics courses at Santa Rosa Junior College. As soon as she got her hands on the clay again, simple shapes started to develop personalities of their own, and families of ceramic monsters were born. Jenny is the Saturday morning facilitator for the Sebastopol Center for the Arts Ceramics Studio.

Perloff directs this Sandbox premiere.
San Francisco Playhouse presents World Premiere of Hend Ayoub’s “Home? A Palestinian Woman’s Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness.” Commissioned by San Francisco Playhouse, this autobiographical one-woman show written and performed by Ayoub chronicles her life journey as a Palestinian woman navigating the complexities of identity, searching for a place to belong. With candor and humor, Ayoub traces her journey from her childhood in Israel to her pursuit of an acting career in Israel, Egypt, and America, seeking acceptance and contending with discrimination. Performed in English, Hebrew, and Arabic, this magnetic, moving, and unexpectedly humorous play explores whether a world divided by nationality and ethnicity can offer a home for those caught in between. American Conservatory Theater Artistic Director Emerita Carey Perloff directs this Sandbox premiere.

A Palestinian Woman’s Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness.” Commissioned by San Francisco Playhouse, this autobiographical one-woman show written and performed by Ayoub chronicles her life journey as a Palestinian woman navigating the complexities of identity, searching for a place to belong.

The Marsh San Francisco presents a new work from Koorosh Ostowari, “Grandma’s Million-Dollar Scheme.” This fast-paced performance follows a young, eager real estate agent who dreams of a quick fortune, only to be outsmarted by a sharp-witted grandma with a clever plan of her own. As a result, the agent’s life takes an unexpected turn, and the show draws from Ostowari’s real-life experiences as a spiritual teacher in a local jail, offering insight into the stark contrasts in how our criminal justice system treats white-collar crime. A bold, 70-minute solo work based on a mostly true story, “Grandma’s Million-Dollar Scheme” explores themes of race, class, greed, and redemption, with a touch of mischief and ambition.

The Marsh San Francisco presents a new work from Koorosh Ostowari, “Grandma’s Million-Dollar Scheme.” This fast-paced performance follows a young, eager real estate agent who dreams of a quick fortune, only to be outsmarted by a sharp-witted grandma with a clever plan of her own. As a result, the agent’s life takes an unexpected turn, and the show draws from Ostowari’s real-life experiences as a spiritual teacher in a local jail, offering insight into the stark contrasts in how our criminal justice system treats white-collar crime. A bold, 70-minute solo work based on a mostly true story, “Grandma’s Million-Dollar Scheme” explores themes of race, class, greed, and redemption, with a touch of mischief and ambition.
