"I still feel the chill in my bones from last night's performance, and expect a part of it to last forever." - Audience Member

"Fire, burn; and cauldron, bubble."
We're casting our best spells and cooking up something to sink your teeth into! Spectacle and catharsis combine in this relevant reflection on fate and fortune.
The play and the place as you've never seen them before - witness the Weyrd Sisters as they watch their prophecy unfold, share the moment that madness overtakes Lady Macbeth, march with Macduff into battle against our agonized antihero, all under the looming landmark of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Tickets are likely to sell out before our opening performance on April 11th, get yours today! https://www.weplayers.org/macbeth-at-fort-point-2025

Dana Taylor is a dream, a dream weaver, a weaver of spells with needle and thread, a weaver of dreams in cloth and dazzlement! Dana has leant her stitiching skills to many a show over the years including our last iteration of Macbeth over a decade ago!
Dana served on We Players’ inaugural board of directors, gracing our group as our Secretary for seven full years. In addition to producing tangible magic in her sewing studio and holding the hearth-center for our fledgling board, she has hosted performances and visiting artists in her home, lent her stable shoulder to cry on at times of significant stress, and always has a long strong hug on tap.
Dana - you are We and we love You!

We're bringing it back!
Fort Point once again sets the scene for an ancient Scotland and a return of our 2013/14 production of Macbeth at Fort Point with a (mostly) new, all-female cast. Whether you saw it a decade ago and can't wait to gather once again with the witches on that foggy heath or if you've only heard tell of the slamming of the sally-port that starts the show - you don't want to miss this tale for our time.
As is our practice, we'll be offering three different ticketing tiers to allow for maximum accessibility to folks with a range of incomes. Tickets, especially those at lower prices, are limited and will go very quickly - purchase yours now to ensure that you're able to see this critically-acclaimed audience favorite.

We continue our celebration of our community, this time with Lauren Matley, aka Loe. You’ve seen her captivating images on our website, in our emails, and on our stationery since 2013.
Loe's ebullience and positivity, along with her can-do, will-do, already-did-done attitude and ethic have carried us through many a challenging passage.

We Players was born on the Stanford campus 25 years ago.
We couldn't be more grateful for the overwhelming support, the incredible opportunities, and the deep love that we've received over the last quarter of a century. We are so deeply proud of the work that we've produced, the art that we've made over that time.

"Thank you for all you create, imagine and inspire. With gratitude for your role in my world." - Audience member
Cheers! Here's to the arts! Here's to theatre that makes us think and feel, to art that awakens our senses and asks us to attend to the natural world around us, to stories that connect us to our community and remind us of our shared humanity. And cheers to you!
We couldn't make this work without your support- thank you for investing in what we make as a vital way to shape our world.
If you've already made a contribution to our end of year campaign, thank you so much. If you have yet to give, please consider a donation today. https://www.weplayers.org/we-2024
