Jan 2026: MATCH GIRL PREMIERE

MATCH GIRL PREMIERE
Jan 17 – Feb 1, 2026
Tickets

Dance Brigade celebrates Women’s History Month with the premiere of MATCH GIRL, a fractured fairy tale about class struggle exploring the drug and homeless crisis in San Francisco as it relates to poverty, addiction, skyrocketing housing costs, and the lack of political will to make exacting change.

Set in a contemporary urban setting, director Krissy Keefer uses dance, theater, and original writings to explore the “doom loop”  of our beloved San Francisco with a deep, heartening, and even humorous reimagining of  Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale, The Little Match Girl.

“Dance Brigade is the real deal.” – SF CHRONICLE

Created and directed by Krissy Keefer, lights by Harry Rubeck, sound by Jabari Tawiah, video by Lena Gatchalian, set by Lisa Calderon, and performed by Bianca Mendoza, Sarah Bush, Fredrika Keefer, Kimberly B Valmore, Deb’e Taylor, KJ Dahlaw, Frances Sedayao,  Megan Lowe, dominique hargrove, and Sierra Tiatia.
