Berkeley Rep is proud to host the Bay Area premiere of Party People, a high-wattage fusion of story and song about the legacy of the Black Panthers and Young Lords. Written by UNIVERSES (Steven Sapp, Mildred Ruiz-Sapp, William Ruiz) and based on dozens of interviews, Party People imagines the Black Panthers and Young Lords reuniting today at an art opening curated by a couple of young counter-culturists, where old wounds open and generations collide.
