A Stage Play

By David Yee

Dramaturgy and Direction by Guillermo Verdecchia

 

JUNE 29, SUNDAY 3:00 PM

 

Set against the backdrop of the Chinese-Canadian redress lawsuit, lady in the red dress is the story of a lawyer without a conscience, a woman without a past, and vengeance for a cause that had been ignored too long. A darkly comic revenge story about the skeletons in our closets, and the consequences of our (in)actions.

A Stage Play

Dramaturgy and Direction by Philip Akin

 

JUNE 20, FRIDAY  8:00 PM 

 

Under the guise of an Import Car/Cellular Phone/Karaoke Conference, three young Asian men dressed as Bruce Lee, Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu take the audience hostage and force them to listen to their grievances that result from their struggle to justify and redefine their maleness. Brown Balls is an unapologetic, honest, touching and often hilarious exploration of Asian masculinity in a Western context.
