Kentucky is a biting comedy from a distinctive new voice in theater: Leah Nanako Winkler, recipient of the 2018 Yale Prize for Drama. The themes of identity, religion, and love collide in this coming-of-age story with a kick, complete with a chorus and a talking cat. Hiro is an Asian-American, self-made woman in New York. She is also estranged from her dysfunctional family in Kentucky. When her little sister, a born-again Christian, decides to marry at 22, Hiro takes it upon herself to do whatever she can to stop the wedding and salvage any shred of hope she had for her sister’s future. Imprint co-founder and co-artistic director Joe Messina directs, with assistant direction by Christopher Lew, August 2-17, 2019, at a space to be announced.
