Inspired by mediations on the future, After All introduces audiences to characters who are wrestling with the inevitability of time passing. At the center of the piece are a Man (performed by Joe Goode) who is visited by Santa Claus (Dwayne Calizo), a pet goldfish (Beth Wilmurt) who has a three-month memory, and a pastor (Matthias Bossi) who delivers a sermon for the end of the world. Presented in part by Intersection for the Arts, and commissioned by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts for the trienneal Bay Area Now Festival, After All was created through collaborations with esteemed playwrights Michelle Carter, Philip Kan Gotanda, and Octavio Solis, as well as a cast of 37 dancers and actors.

In addition to the commission with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, After All was originally conceived by Intersection for the Arts (Deborah Cullinan, executive director) as part of the ongoing residency for the Erika Chong Shuch Performance Project.

Development is also supported by the San Francisco Arts Commission/ Cultural Equity Initiative, Zellerbach family Fund, and Headlands Center for the Arts.
