Tughlaq, by Girish Karnad, is set during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq, a member of the Tughlaq dynasty and Sultan of Delhi from 1325 to 1351, and explores one of the timeless dilemmas known to humankind: the ideal versus the real, the aspiration for the divine versus the pull of human intrigue. There are many parts in this epic story of “Old” Delhi, so we hope many of you will grace us with your presence.

A ROUNDTABLE is an informal gathering where Rasik Arts provides script copies and we sit around the table in the back of the 5th Elementt reading the play out loud, followed by a discussion.

Asian American Theatre Company (San Francisco, CA)
Beijing, California
by Paul Heller
January 31, 2009

The Diego Rivera Theatre, City College of San Francisco
50 Phelan Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112

"Beijing, California" envisions a future Chinese invasion of the U.S. and the devolution of the U.S. into a third world country. What happens when America is ruled by the Chinese?

This staged reading will present the first 2 hours of a planned 6-hour theatrical mini-series (which, when fully staged, will be broken down into three 2-hour installments).

The play's action follows a dozen characters living in San Francisco after a Chinese military and ideological invasion in 2050. As food becomes scarce, as favor and success become tied to learning Chinese and adopting Asian mores, as families are relocated, as constitutional rights are eroded, the characters scramble to hold on to their American values. But, when these actions prevent their survival, they must adopt new morals and treat their lovers, children, and the invaders in new ways.

The reading will be followed by an open discussion with the playwright, director, and actors.

Rasaka Theatre (Chicago, IL)
Yoni Ki Baat
produced in association with Premiere Theatre & Performance
at Strawdog Theatre (3829 N. Broadway)
January 2 to February 1, 2009

Rasaka Theatre Company (the Midwest's first South Asian-American ensemble) presents the Chicago premiere of Yoni Ki Baat, a funny, heartfelt and thought-provoking monologue cycle, loosely inspired by Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues. By combining spoken word, music and dance, Rasaka presents an exploration of female sexuality, seen through the lens of diasporic culture. Like a chain letter passed through the theatrical community, Yoni Ki Baat features contributions from female writers across the country, including six new monologues by local writers. Presented in association with Premiere Theatre and Performance.

The Phoenix Theatre (San Francisco, CA)
Meadowland
by Ian Walker
January 9 to 31, 2009

What’s it about? MEADOWLAND is a visually and emotionally haunting portrait of honor, truth, and passion within a small Asian community. When a woman goes missing and the body of her husband found in the woods, a small town sheriff is drawn into a web of mystery and deceit that seems to have as much to do with his own personal tragedy as the mystery before him. Based on the 12th century folk tale that became a 21st century classic of Japanese literature, MEADOWLAND explores the back story of Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s “In A Grove” in much the same way that Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead explores the tale of Hamlet. It features a cast of both familiar and new faces from the theatre community, including Alan Quismorio, Pearl Wong, Leon Goertzen, Arthur Keng, Michael Kelly, Sang Kim, Michael Wu, George Q. Nguyen, and Nonoko Sato. And it’s a World Premiere! MEADOWLAND is written by Bay Area playwright Ian Walker who has been called "one of the Bay Area's most promising emerging playwrights" by both the Oakland Tribune and The SF Weekly. His works have been described as “imaginative and witty” by the SF Chronicle, “invigorating and exciting” by the SF Examiner, “genuinely funny” by the NY Times, and “winsome and tender” by the NJ Staff Ledger.

Po Boy Tango
by Kenneth Lin
January 7 to February 15, 2009

A celebration of the human spirit and the joy of cooking, Po Boy Tango tells the story of Richie Po - a Chinese immigrant who turns to his estranged friend Gloria to help him recreate his mother's "Great Banquet." Despite the challenges of shark fin soup, duck po boy sandwiches and underlying cultural tensions, Richie and Gloria find common ground through their shared humor and the interaction of traditional Taiwanese cuisine and African-American "Soul Food." With the help of lessons from Po Mama’s television cooking show, the two discover a deeper understanding of food, culture and the nature of friendship.

(L. to R.) Tyler Tanabe surprises Kathy Hunter in Mainland Education at Kumu Kahua Theatre.

Kumu Kahua Theatre (Honolulu, HI)
Mainland Education
by Scot Izuka
January 8 to February 8, 2009

Cultures mix, match and clash at the University of Kansas in the early 1980s. Jerome, a second-year graduate student, is a third-generation Japanese-American from Hawai‘i. His roommate Yan is Taiwanese and still struggling comically with the English language. They meet the outgoing and assertive Cathy, born and raised in the Midwest, and her roommate Rei, a Japanese national who speaks English well but with an accent. As the four spend time together, they attempt to surmount difficulties created not only by language barriers but also by national identities and cultural mores. Jerome is self-conscious about others' interpretations of his Japanese appearance outside of Hawai‘i. He begins a relationship with Cathy but is later drawn to Rei, who is pressured by her parents about being with Jerome because, to Japanese people, he is a foreigner. As the school year progresses, the friends' mutual understanding grows, but not without difficulties. A Kumu Kahua world premiere.

Community Asian Theatre of the Sierras (CATS) (Nevada City, California)
Flower Drum Song
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Book by David Henry Hwang
Based on the original book by
Oscar Hammerstein II and Joseph Fields
Based on the novel by C.Y. Lee
January 22 to February 14, 2009

Director: Michael Baranowski
Music Director: Ken Hardin
Dance Director: George Jayne

CATS is producing the 2002 Tony-nominated version by David Henry Hwang. Mr. Hwang updated the 1957 story written by C.Y. Lee to bring in modern-day sensibilities, while maintaining the original spirit of his novel. FLOWER DRUM SONG was first produced on Broadway in 1958, starring Pat Suzuki and directed by Gene Kelley. It was then made into a movie in 1961, starring Nancy Kwan, James Shigeta, and the Myoshi Umeki with an all-Asian cast. The 2002 version incorporates all the memorable songs of the original, including "A Hundred Million Miracles," "Grant Avenue," and "I Enjoy Being a Girl." The first version focused on the generation gap between the elders from the old country (China) and their Americanized children. The latter takes the story a step further and transforms cultural differences. Our production features a multicultural cast accompanied by a live orchestra, under the direction of Ken Hardin. A Gala Reception follows our Opening on Saturday, January 24. On Friday, February 13, the show will not be performed. Instead, CATS will be holding a fundraiser of the 1961 movie at the Nevada Theatre. Come compare the two versions and clear your throats and sing along with the movie! Both the play and movie are family-friendly.

February 17, 2009

Time: 6.30-8pm
Cost: FREE (donation suggested) rsvp@desipina.org
Where: 142 East 39th St between Lexington and 3rd Ave.
What: The Girls From Afar is about slavery in America, which did not disappear with the Civil War. No longer institutionalized, it is hidden, tucked away behind manicured lawns and monogrammed golf carts. If the public could hear the clatter of the shackles in the streets, would it recoil it horror? What if the signs are much less obvious? Two girls have come from afar to work as domestics in a wealthy home, but what seems at first to be a great opportunity becomes a lifestyle of brutality.

fu-GEN (Toronto, Canada)
lady in the red dress
by David Yee
January 24 to February 21, 2009

In the tradition of Haruki Murakami & Frank Miller, lady in the red dress follows Max, a DOJ negotiator embroiled in a world of corruption and deceit. Playwright David Yee (Fear of Flight, paper series) re-imagines the Chinese-Canadian struggle for redress as a modern day noir, chronicling Max’s nightmarish trip through the mean streets of Chinatown and the corridors of Justice. Part ghost story, part revenge play, lady in the red dress is a darkly comic story about the
skeletons in our closets, and the consequences of our (in)actions.

CIRCA (Chicago, IL)
Mr & Mrs La Questa Go Dancing
by Noel Alumit
February 5 to March 1, 2009

Jay and Lori La Questa, a middle-aged Filipino couple, are having their annual dance party. Mixed with food and their usual rhythmic gait through tango and cha cha, they gather friends as they always have to celebrate life and honor their only son, Boyett. To the outside world, the dance party may seem celebratory and candid but to their inner selves, it is a night of healing, reconciliation and catharsis from an experience that altered their lives forever. And this they would do in a way they know best – through dancing. As they dance the night away, they find themselves retelling stories about their son, both bitter and sweet, finding new meaning from a past that continues to haunt them in their search for peace and acceptance.

The National Asian American Theater Company will present ''Leah's Train,'' by Karen Hartman, directed by Jean Randich, Feb. 6 through 28 at the TBG Theater, 312 West 36th Street, Manhattan.

Ms. Hartman's play is about three generations of women from a Jewish family. The cast will include Jennifer Ikeda,who was in last season's Broadway production of ''Top Girls'' and is appearing off Broadway in ''Women Beware Women.''

What: A cross between Jean Genet's The Blacks and Suzann Lori-Parks Death of the Last Black Man, Sita/Sati tells the story of newly widowed Sita Desi, an immigrant from India. Sita finds herself struggling between a want to assimilate and integrate herself into the American landscape and trying to hold onto as much of her Indian cultural heritage as possible in a new land.
She joins with the company of actors in the play to challenge and skewer the stereotypical views of Southasians. However, along the way the ritual of Sati which at first is being presented as a lark, takes a dark turn as the crowd gets caught up in the frenzy of ritual and tradition and start calling on Sita to enter the fire and become an actual Sati.

Hmoob-land (Hmongland!)
March 7 to 15, 2009

Unconventional, side-splitting and fantastical, Hmoob-land is a performance that combines spoken word, documentary theater, storytelling and mythology to explore the absurdities of the perception of the Hmong from within and outside the community. Director/Writer Robert Karimi weaves the words and movement of the Dabneeg<>Dawning Theater Ensemble , a dynamic group of Hmong and non-Hmong artists, to investigate h ow does a population without a recognized country identify itself? How do residents of a displaced community respond to definition inside and outside of the community?.

Through a 12 week process, ensemble members dealt with these questions, and created work that designers and lead writer riffed upon. Creating a backdrop where everyday intersects with a mythological land through breathtaking backdrops and masks designed by award winning artist Kaolee Thao and Ashle Kubesh of Folklore Studios; and costumes by Oskar Ly of OsCoutu, illuminate, Hmoob-land fleshes out cultural beliefs, traditional practices, and revelations to sacred doors that challenge audience of all kinds to consider how we all create home and find the heart of our communities.

Soul Samurai

February 14 to March 15, 2008

Directed by Robert Ross Parker

Cooler than Kill Bill, hotter than Shaft! The OBIE Award-winning Ma-Yi Theater Company teams up with the NYIT Award-winning Vampire Cowboys for Soul Samurai, the story of Dewdrop and her fight through the mean streets of post-apocalyptic Brooklyn. After avenging her lover's murder in the heart of Coney Island, Dewdrop now must make it back home to the L.E.S. before the shoguns of Kings County find her. In a play that mixes hip-hop culture, blaxploitation, and the martial arts, this production dials it back old school with a seventies-inspired samurai story. This is one slick slice with a sharp sword and a score to settle!

Jude Narita
March 20 and 21, 2009

March is Women's History Month, and Narita's work definitely celebrates women! Narita's plays are a journey of emotions, memories, and dreams, with the final embracing of one's own heritage. Narita explores then transcends "Asian" issues to celebrate our differences, while illuminating the universal similarities of us all.

Narita will be at Kirkland Performance Center in Kirkland on Friday March 20, performing Stories Waiting To Be Told. http://www.kpcenter.org

On Saturday March 21, Narita will be at the Vashon Allied Arts/Blue Heron Arts Center on Vashon Island performing From The Heart.
http://www.vashonalliedarts.org

Narita has dates available from March 22 to the 31st for more activities in the Pacific Northwest, and would love to do some events (mini-performances, lec/demos, and workshops) with Asian American student, community, and women's groups. Please contact Jude at: judenarita@gmail.com

STORIES WAITING TO BE TOLD celebrates Asian and Asian American women, past and present, some of whom are Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Cambodian, as they redefine themselves within the American dream. The first generation women build their new lives in America. The next generations struggle with contemporary life issues not often acknowledged within their families or communities. All are dealing with the opportunities offered and the obstacles to overcome, in America.

From the Heart is a celebration of Asian and Asian American women which explores the lives, experiences, and expectations of different women, breaking Asian stereotypes and creating REAL people with hopes and dreams similar to the audiences. The women in From The Heart are immigrants, Americans, survivors of war and internment, and a young girl in Hiroshima.

An excerpt of STORIES is here.

A police officer in Honolulu’s Chinatown district during Hawai`i's territorial days, Apana was a man small in stature but big in his community; he generally didn’t carry a firearm, but preferred a bullwhip. The “crack” of his whip became a signal to petty criminals in the district that Detective Apana was near, and it was time for them to rethink their activities! Presented by Seattle’s American Radio Theater company, “Chang Apana: Heart of a Lion” will be performed and recorded complete with live musical accompaniment on Saturday, March 21, 2009, at 3:00 and 7:00 p.m., at Pioneer Hall, 1642 - 43rd Ave. E (in Seattle’s Madrona Park neighborhood).

The Window Age
A Guided Tour of the Unconscious
by Christopher Chen
Directed by Gary Graves
February 21 to March 22, 2009

A Central Works Method Play
developed in collaboration with Richard Frederick, Gary Graves, Joel Mullennix, Gregory Scharpen & Jan Zvaifler

SYNOPSIS:
1920s England in the aftermath of World War I. The conception of the human mind is being reframed by the Modernist Movement in art and literature, the burgeoning field of psychoanalysis, and the emergence of a strange new affliction: the War Neurosis ("Shell Shock").

A Modernist writer, not unlike Virginia Woolf, and her troubled war veteran husband receive a visit from an old friend, an expert psychoanalyst not unlike Sigmund Freud. As the evening unfolds, we go deeper and deeper and deeper into the unconscious minds of this mysterious trio--a husband, a wife and a rival.

"I suddenly saw this scene in front of me--this path, these four trees, this part of the mountainside--as a single window I was looking through, and nothing more, nothing more beyond my field, this field, of vision."

Featuring Richard Frederick*, Joel Mullennix* and Jan Zvaifler (*Actor's Equity Association)

In a shadowy world, one seemingly ripped from reality, a man filled with alcohol and self-loathing tries to explain to his creation why he terminated her existence; a young woman confronts her mother who disappeared more than two decades earlier; a tormented man battles his inner self that he has been trying to deny all of his life; and a junkie with no hope whatsoever comes face to face with God. But when compassion and retribution walk hand in hand, and answers often only lead to more questions, the chance to ease one's pain does not come easily, if at all.
