31 Asian American Plays in 31 Days:
#30 FLIPZOIDS by Ralph B. Peña
Set on a beach in Southern California, “Flipzoids” is a funny and highly moving story about three Filipino immigrants in America navigating through the shifting landscape of home, desire, loneliness and belonging. The play examines what it means to be an outsider, to be Filipino and/or American, to be a hybrid.
A significant development of Filipinos in Asian American theatre, FLIPZOIDS also shown a spotlight on Ma-Yi Theatre in a big way, as Ching Valdes-Aran won an Obie for her acting in the 1996 production.
