in Yellowjackets
(© Kevin Berne)
The Jacket is prominently featured in Moses' play, set at Berkeley High (the playwright's alma mater), and chronicles what happens when the school paper publishes a racially insensitive story that sparks controversy among students and teachers alike. On Sunday, the cast will present a check to the newspaper staff at a special ceremony on Berkeley Rep's stage after the final performance.
Tony Taccone directs the play, which features Shoresh Alaudini, Jahmela Biggs, Alex Curtis, Ben Freeman, Lance Gardner, Amaya Alonso Hallifax, Kevin Hsieh, Adrienne Papp, Craig Piaget, Brian Rivera, and Erika Salazar. The creative team includes Obadiah Eaves (sound), Meg Neville (costumes), Annie Smart (sets), and Alexander V. Nichols (lights).
