I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve always felt American Sign Language is not only a beautiful language, but it’s inherently theatrical,” said Lisa Mallette, executive artistic director for\u003ca href=\"https://cltc.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> City Lights Theater Company\u003c/a> in San Jose. “I’m one of those people that, if I’m at a conference and they have an interpreter off to the side, I can’t take my eyes off of the interpreter.”\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13827545,arts_13851676,arts_13808400' label='Related Coverage']She says she first came up with the idea of bilingual theater in English and ASL. Then she had to find the right play to serve as a vehicle. “It was harder than I thought it was going to be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mallette finally fixed on playwright Sarah Ruhl’s \u003ci>Eurydice,\u003c/i> a modern retelling of the classic Greek myth. You’ll recall the basic construct: Orpheus is a talented musician whose bride Eurydice is stolen away by the Lord of the Underworld. Can Orpheus get her back?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruhl’s 90-minute take on the story centers on Eurydice’s love for her dead father and her fear of forgetting him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once she’s among the dead, the threatening Lord of the Underworld more or less becomes a comic caricature, and the story instead focuses on whether Eurydice will regain her memory, lost in the river of forgetfulness (the river Styx in the original Greek myth), whose waters erase the passions that hold the dead to the living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13853576\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13853576 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_BrianHerndon_LaurenRhodes-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"In City Lights' production of Sarah Ruhl's 'Eurydice,' Eurydice (Lauren Rhodes) signs 'father' to her lost father (Brian Rhodes).\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_BrianHerndon_LaurenRhodes-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_BrianHerndon_LaurenRhodes-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_BrianHerndon_LaurenRhodes-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_BrianHerndon_LaurenRhodes-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_BrianHerndon_LaurenRhodes-1200x800.jpeg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_BrianHerndon_LaurenRhodes-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_BrianHerndon_LaurenRhodes.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In City Lights’ production of Sarah Ruhl’s ‘Eurydice,’ Eurydice (Lauren Rhodes) signs ‘father’ to her lost father (Brian Rhodes). \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Taylor Sanders)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Somehow, Eurydice’s father has retained his memory of and love for her, but will she remember her love for him? When Orpheus appears at the gates, singing her name, it’s not clear whether Eurydice will follow her husband or stay below with her dad, even if it means marrying that annoying lord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mallette got Ruhl’s permission to experiment with the play. “Sarah Ruhl’s beautiful play works perfectly. It’s has a lovely, poetic language already. It’s almost fantastical in its presentation. There aren’t a lot of props, so people’s hands aren’t busy. It’s also not very long.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mallette cast two actors for every major role: one to speak, one to sign. “If you see them side by side, some of the signs are lovely and kind of obvious. Of course that’s someone falling from the sky onto a fluffy cloud. It makes perfect sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for instance, actor Lauren Rhodes plays Eurydice — and so does Leah Cohen. “We are actually performing simultaneously onstage while [Rhodes] is speaking,” Cohen explained. “I’m signing, but I’m not just standing there looking at her, or looking out at the audience. I’m actually incorporated into the show.

When Orpheus appears at the gates, singing her name, it’s not clear whether Eurydice will follow her husband or stay below with her dad, even if it means marrying that annoying lord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mallette got Ruhl’s permission to experiment with the play. “Sarah Ruhl’s beautiful play works perfectly. It’s has a lovely, poetic language already. It’s almost fantastical in its presentation. There aren’t a lot of props, so people’s hands aren’t busy. It’s also not very long.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mallette cast two actors for every major role: one to speak, one to sign. “If you see them side by side, some of the signs are lovely and kind of obvious. Of course that’s someone falling from the sky onto a fluffy cloud. It makes perfect sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for instance, actor Lauren Rhodes plays Eurydice — and so does Leah Cohen. “We are actually performing simultaneously onstage while [Rhodes] is speaking,” Cohen explained. “I’m signing, but I’m not just standing there looking at her, or looking out at the audience. I’m actually incorporated into the show. I interact with the speaking characters, as well as some of the other signing roles onstage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13853577\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13853577 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/CityLights_Eurydice_Lauren_Erik_Leah_Dane-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"In City Lights' production of Sarah Ruhl's 'Eurydice,' the Eurydices are menaced by the Lords of the Underworld.

The poem tells the story of Thúy Kiêu, a beautiful woman who sold herself into a grim marriage to save her family from ruin. After trials and tribulation, she makes it home to reunite with her original family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lê honors the past. He honors all of those lives that were lost. But he also celebrates those that are living and are thriving,” says Associate Curator Rory Padeken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This show also celebrates Lê’s more abstract works. “I’m a big fan of abstraction because I think it can speak to many different issues, particularly difficult ones like loss, trauma, death. There’s no one image that’s dominating. It’s always in flux, because that’s how memory functions in the human mind,” Padeken says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exhibition also features documentary work by Lê, including \u003cem>Light and Belief\u003c/em>, a survey of the work of Communist Vietnamese artists who drew bucolic tableaus and portraits of soldiers in moments of rest between battles. The illustrations seem ripped from a children’s book, and collectively, they build a narrative as fictional as \u003cem>Apocalypse Now \u003c/em>and other Hollywood films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13851001\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13851001\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/02/RS35280_30210673628_e6357dca24_o-1-800x553.jpeg\" alt=\"Still from Dinh Q.

There’s recent immigrants. There’s second and third-generation Mexican-Americans kids who call themselves Mexicanos but don’t know shit about the Virgen de Guadalupe. And these are my students!” says Garcia, who’s also an adjunct professor at Metro State College in Denver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia adds he hopes this play can serve as a tool to help younger generations understand more about themselves in a palatable fashion. “We love to laugh at ourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is there one question Arellano gets all the time: “If you hate Orange County so much, why do you live here?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His answer: “You can only truly love Orange County if you despise it.

We say, “Ask, so you don’t look like a \u003ci>pendejo\u003c/i>.” I.e. stupid. “You can get educated and insulted at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last year since the first staged reading at MACLA, \u003cem>¡Interview with a Mexican!\u003c/em> played in Denver and Albuquerque before returning to the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia says he’s been surprised at how warmly audiences accept the edgy humor. “There is a conversation about how we can’t talk about race anymore without understanding everybody’s personal vibe. Clearly, I know enough to know when to keep my mouth shut, but on stage, I don’t think we have those same restrictions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia has led Su Teatro for half a century, and says Arellano’s humor plays well in Denver. “There are Chicanos who’ve been there for a very long time. There’s recent immigrants. There’s second and third-generation Mexican-Americans kids who call themselves Mexicanos but don’t know shit about the Virgen de Guadalupe. And these are my students!” says Garcia, who’s also an adjunct professor at Metro State College in Denver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia adds he hopes this play can serve as a tool to help younger generations understand more about themselves in a palatable fashion. “We love to laugh at ourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is there one question Arellano gets all the time: “If you hate Orange County so much, why do you live here?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His answer: “You can only truly love Orange County if you despise it. Cause there’s a lot of horrible things with Orange County, but those things are slowly going away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that make Gustavo Arellano an optimist or a pessimist? Well, he’s still living there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
