Covenant

Single tickets on sale Jul 15
Fri, Nov 6, 2026 - Sun, Dec 13, 2026

By York Walker
Directed by Taylor Reynolds
West Coast premiere
Peet’s Theatre

In a small Georgia town, superstitions and rumors abound. The graveyard, the church, the neighbors, their families — there seems to be a secret within everything, and Avery wants out. But when her once-awkward childhood friend Johnny returns to town as a smooth-talking blues star, raising suspicion he’s made the darkest of deals, a series of secrets emerges to envelop them all. Hailed by The New York Times as “a striking Southern Gothic work,” York Walker’s Covenant unravels truth from myth in a haunting and gripping reckoning with what we choose to believe and what we cannot escape.
