HOLE (2025)

written & directed by Amy Langer & Bahaar Taj
featuring Mars C. Ibarra, Sam Bertken, & Willie Caldwell
work-in-progress run featuring Brenda Arellano & Joe Peña

Set outdoors at the beach, HOLE is a site-specific play that revolves around the act of literally digging a large hole in the ground, moving through themes of obsession, identity, community, kindness, and the strange persistence of compulsive digging in pop culture. A play without a fourth wall (or, in fact, any walls), HOLE asks the audience: What needs to be done for you to take up the shovel?

“Delights in absurdity even as it takes rim shots against the profound.” —SF Chronicle

“The SF Neos don’t provide any answers with their new show. Instead, they allow everyone attending to join in on asking the question.” — 48 Hills

The Program (2021)

written & directed by Ezra Reaves & Amy Langer
featuring Cecil Baldwin, Brenda Arellano, Tonya Narvaez, & Clay Palmer

This immersive one-on-one theatrical performance takes place entirely over the phone. In this 45-minute interactive performance, you'll dive into a telephonic wormhole that takes the universal experience of navigating an automated phone tree to its most absurd and hilarious extremes. But don't worry: there's an operator standing by.

PRESS

“Imagine if a phone tree kept you digging deeper and deeper and you never reached that live operator who was currently helping someone else; also imagine if, say, the interactive voice agent controlling said phone tree was a bit lonely, or jealous, or perhaps even… possessive. I’d say more about The Program but that it would rob potential listeners of the joy of discovering its surreal and twisted telephonic world on their own.”
—Kathryn Yu, No Proscenium

“One of the most clever, entertaining, thought provoking, highly relevant and technically sophisticated virtual audio performances I have ever experienced. A five star event! The sold-out 2021 run ended far too soon. I'll be first in line should The Program return for encore transmissions.”
—Ed Decker, Artistic Director of the New Conservatory Theater Center
