PRODUCTION HISTORY OF ALCHEMY WORKS
Alchemy Works greatly appreciates the financial support we have received from past and present funders: California Arts Council, CA$H (Theatre Bay Area), Gersten Charitable Trust, Japanese-American Citizens League, Sobrato Family Foundation (Sheri Sobrato), and True North Foundation.
Alchemy Works' 2003 season presented:
Where There's a WIL(L) There's A Play
at Julia Morgan Center for the Arts
For it's third season of risk-taking works, Alchemy Works presented an engaging collection
of short works by, or inspired by, famous WILs. Though some are old standbys,
Alchemy Works added innovative and odd twists.
