Catch this Wave: The Forever Wave listening party at SFPL Koret Auditorium, October 5, 2-4 pm

[N G]

Hello fellow awe-inspirers,


In 2023 I created a radio play called The Forever Wave, set in the San Francisco of 2070 after a 200' sea level rise. After six months of touring it on community radio stations around the Bay Area, I took it on tour on the international Fringe Festival circuit.  It's been an amazing experience so far, and I'm really thrilled at the reception it's had.


On October 5, from 2-4pm, the San Francisco Public Library will be hosting an in-person listening party for the piece in the Koret Auditorium. We're presenting the original audio with visual subtitles for extra accessibility, and myself and some of the actors will be there in person for a post-show Q&A. It's free to attend, of course, and no RSVPs are required. You even get a free map so you can follow the characters along as they traverse their climate-changed world. 


Combining geography, climate science, Bay Area history, and an array of almost 70 voices—survivors and dead alike—The Forever Wave is a comprehensive exploration of a what-if future that seems ever more likely every year we fail to address the impacts of climate change and economic inequality. What communities will emerge when our systems have collapsed entirely and “normal” is a historical relic? What can the hilltop-dwellers of the future teach us about ourselves in the now? And what are the things we can start building in order to avoid their fate?


I’m so excited to share this work in-person with my Bay Area peeps, and I hope you might be able to make it out. Here is a link to peruse (and share!): https://sfpl.org/events/2024/10/05/presentation-forever-wave
