Here are two of our favorite found artifacts. The "Dear Julie" letter Rowena found stuck between the floorboards of her closet (in the Mission). Susie's friend Donna found the "I Will Work Hard" list (25 repetitions).

Found: on Tiffany Street near Valencia
This note intrigued us--what could it be? It turns out it's a grocery list of green vegetables. When we later found a letter on the street about a friend named Gary who had died, along with the program from his memorial service, the two found pieces inspired Song for Gary, in which the life-giving promise of the greens from the grocery list contrasts with the sadness of Gary's death.
Directors Rowena Richie and Susie Hara spot a possible artifact
About Us
- Boathouse & Co. Performance
- San Francisco, California, United States
- Co-artistic directors Rowena Richie and Susie Hara originally met in 1996 in the copy room of the software consulting company where we each had a day job but would periodically troop across the hall to rehearse at the Z Space Studio, albeit in different theater companies. We bonded over a common background in dance and theater, and found a creative intersection between Richie's midwestern roots and Hara's middle eastern/Californian roots. Go figure: we've been partners-in-crime ever since, and have created and performed several dance theater collaborations, including "Rose and Ruby," "Invocation," and "Transformations." We've been involved in dance theater for over a decade; Richie was a founding member of Strangefruit Theater Ensemble, and has performed with Erika Shuch Performance Project (ESP) and Kraft and Purver. Her dance theater pieces have been supported by grants from the Zellerbach Family Fund and Theatre Bay Area’s CA$H program. Hara has performed with theater companies Word for Word and Teatro de la Esperanza. Her theater pieces have been produced at the Marsh, ODC Theater, and Z Space Studio, and her short stories have been published in several anthologies.
