events.
From February 19–March 1, 2026, SF Youth Theatre presents The Mysterious Stranger at CounterPulse, performed by the SFYT Dream Ensemble. The production features puppetry direction by Dyana Diaz, whose visual storytelling blends shadow puppetry, movement, and projection to expand the world of the play. The puppetry is brought to life by a collaborative crew of Sánchez Sánchez & Jess Nguyen, creating evocative and imaginative stage imagery. Together, the team elevates this youth-driven production into a bold, interdisciplinary theatrical experience rooted in curiosity, wonder, and transformation.
