Campo Maldito
Angry ghosts are disrupting business at a tech startup in the Tenderloin. When the young CEO hires a Santeria priest to purify the office, he gets more than he bargained for. Remounted from the UC San Diego's Wagner Festival and presented in conjunction with Ubuntu Theater Project, Campo Maldito is a darkly comic fable about the cost of gentrification and the price you pay when you piss off the dead.
