How the World Began

Gough Street Playhouse
1620 Gough St San Francisco

A high-school biology teacher is prepared to be a fish out of water when she relocates from Manhattan to a small Kansas town following a devastating tornado there. But she's not at all ready for the different kind of storm she churns up when she makes an offhand comment in class about the origins of life. Award-winning playwright Catherine Trieschmann explores and respects all sides of the debate over creationism vs. evolution, while spinning a very human story about starting over. Custom Made Theatre stages this Bay Area premiere at San Francisco's Gough Street Playhouse.
