The Depths of Us: 2024/25 season
In Theater Mu’s 2024/25 season, an immigrant stays grounded in their identity through a strange garden, a child bargains with a tiger to save her grandmother, two women’s kiss leads to irrevocable change, and a mother and son’s relationship is tested after she finds out he is queer. While these stories are very different, they reveal the same truth: Despite hardship, humanity’s capacity for hope, for caring, and for connection prevails.
“Our vision at Mu is to widen the circles of the stories we’re telling so that we’re representing the vastness of our diaspora and how the Asian American experience intersects with other marginalized stories,” says outgoing artistic director Lily Tung Crystal. She adds, “Each of these plays features characters who grapple with identity, family, and friendship and land on the other side with love.”
Mu’s wish is that these stories remind you of all we are, all we do, and all we can become, which is why Theater Mu’s 2024/25 season is called the Depths of Us. We hope you can join us for this season focused largely on South Asian American and queer stories.
“I am thrilled to be shepherding Mu’s 2024/25 season as interim artistic director,” longtime artist Katie Bradley says. “Lily’s lineup of shows is beautiful and thought-provoking, and I’m excited for audiences to experience them in the coming months.”
