Some stories make us think about our families. Others make us think about the choices we make, the people we hold on to, and what freedom really means.

The Brothers Size brought these questions to the stage on opening night.

Thank you to everyone who came and shared the experience with us. What part of the story stayed with you?

African-American Shakespeare Company presents The Brothers Size by Academy Award-winning playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney.

Set against the realities of modern life in the American South and inspired by Yoruba mythology, this powerful contemporary drama explores brotherhood, family, freedom, responsibility, and the search for a second chance.

When Oshoosi returns home after incarceration, his reunion with his older brother Ogun is tested by the arrival of Elegba, an old friend whose presence forces the brothers to confront their hopes, loyalties, and futures.

October 9 – November 1, 2026
Theater 33 | 533 Sutter St, San Francisco
🎟️ Tickets are now available!

Come experience a moving story about the bonds that hold us together and the choices that can change everything.

👉 Get your tickets and join us this fall!
