Two legendary female architects meet when a celebrated play about Sarah Winchester comes to the Julia Morgan-designed Berkeley City Club.
About this Event

Guns, grief, and ghosts. In a sprawling mansion of her own design, Sarah Winchester navigates a complex legacy: she's lost everything of value — her husband, her child — and gained a fortune. Her net worth can be measured in dollars... or blood. The confounding splendor of her new California home invites wonder and rumor. But one night, before the legend takes over, the heiress of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company gives a personal tour of her conspicuous dwelling for a few lucky guests.

Since its debut in 2023, Joe Christiano’s new solo-character play, Mrs. Winchester, or, A Gun in the First Act has been presented by Shotgun Players, San Jose’s City Lights Theater Company, San Francisco’s Mechanics’ Institute, and other historic Bay Area locations. For a limited engagement, it now comes to the Julia Morgan-designed Berkeley City Club, bringing together the sensibilities of two legendary female architects of California.

A National Delivery Live Engagement.

Performed by Lisa Morse.

Written and staged by Joe Christiano.
