A Dream Play
By August Strindberg
Adapted by Sung Rno and Andrew Pang
Directed by Andrew Pang
March 22 to April 13, 2013

In A Dream Play, Agnes, a god's daughter, has lost her way and finds herself falling to the third sphere from the sun, "the densest and heaviest of the spheres that roam in space." Her father encourages her to descend and to observe the "Creator's children" saying that the world is "not the best for sure, but not the worst. Have courage, child, 'tis but a trial." Agnes observes at first but, drawn to the human beings she encounters, decides to participate in their lives to better understand why pain and suffering seem to be their constant state.

Three Trees
by Alvin Eng
March 24 to April 14, 2013

This historical drama explores the unique relationship between 20th century Parisian artist Alberto Giacometti and his muse model, Japanese existential philosopher Isaku Yanaihara. Friends and scholars of Giacometti who have attended staged readings of THREE TREES, have said the following:

"Three Trees is a magic wand that wishes the past into the present. I was often with Alberto and company from 1949 to 1961. I had intimate talks with all the actors there. This play moves me in the deepest way by how well it recalls those challenging and so rewarding times."
HERBERT LUST
Author of "Giacometti: The Complete Graphics"

"Three Trees by Alvin Eng is an astonishingly moving play about Alberto Giacometti, his wife Annette, his brother, Diego, and his good friend, Isaku Yanaihara. Eng has perfectly captured the personalities of each as well as the steamy and stormy interactions that wove them into a tight triangle. Eng's deep appreciation for and comprehension of Giacometti's art sheds a brilliant light on the complex human drama that unfolds before our eyes."
LAURIE WILSON
Author of "Alberto Giacometti: Myth Magic and the Man."

The Pan Asian production will feature Jean-Pierre Stewart, Marcus Ho, Leah Cogan and Scott Klavan, under the direction of Ernest Abuba.

All That Remains
A World Premiere
By Mona Z. Smith
March 28 to April 28, 2013

A ghostly World War II epic
March 28 – April 28, 2013

“We are at the very beginning of our warrior play, our military drama, our soldier’s story: the lies, the hatred, the betrayal.”

In this sweeping epic of World War II, the ghosts of 442nd and 100th Battalion soldiers return. Telling a story of loyalty and betrayal, courage and cowardice, they re-create an act of violence that torments both the living and the dead.

Using an experimental style drawing from Japanese Noh theatre, Mona Z. Smith’s All That Remains offers a challenging, controversial look at the heroism and despair of war.

April 12 to May 11, 2013
BCA Plaza Theatre

After the totally weird Tilly dies, oh-so-average Agnes doesn't know what to make of the geekery her sister left behind. In an effort to understand the gulf between them, she embarks on a quest of Tilly's own design, rife with hostile faeries, randy ogres, awkward high schoolers, and broadswords. Will Agnes discover her innerbadass, or will the bugbears get her first? Qui Nguyen, resident playwright of Brooklyn's Vampire Cowboys theatre, serves up a comedic nerdgasm – an homage to the outcast in all of us.

Flip the Script: Closer
by Patrick Marber
May 13, 2013

Victory Gardens Resident Theaters Rasaka Theatre and Bailiwick Chicago in cooperation with The League of Chicago Theatres presents Flip The Script, an all Asian American staged reading of Closer by Patrick Marber at Victory Gardens Theater's Richard Christensen Theater on Monday, May 13, 2013 at 7:30 PM. Flip the Script is an effort to stage a reading of an established play (traditionally cast as predominantly Caucasian) performed by actors of color, and may grow to become a larger series. This event strives to broaden perspectives by showcasing talent that represents the multicultural world we live in and is curated by Asian American theatre artist Danny Bernardo. Flip The Script is free and open to the general public, but reservations are highly recommended. There will be a post-show discussion immediately after the reading.

Closer is the third play written by English playwright Patrick Marber. It premiered at the Royal National Theatre's Cottesloe Theatre in London in 1997, and made its North American debut at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway on January 25, 1999. Set in contemporary London, Closer explores the minutiae of sex and the geometry of relationships in the entanglement of four people: an obituary writer about to launch his first novel, a mysteriously young erotic stripper, a photographer whose favorite subject are strangers, and a dermatologist, who claims to be a clinical observer of the human carnival. A series of chance encounters act as a catalyst for emotional motion between the four characters and the reaction caused by the shock of sexual passion painfully reveal the underscoring of sex in each life. In 2004 it was made into a feature film starring Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen, and Natalie Portman.

The cast for the Flip the Script reading of Closer will include Danny Bernardo (Porchlight's Pacific Overtures, Bailiwick Chicago's Mahal), Joel Kim Booster (New Colony's Down & Derby, webseries Kam Kardashian), Stephenie Park (Profile's After, Silk Road Rising's Re-Spiced), Eliza Shin (Halcyon's Family Devotions, NBC's Chicago Fire) and directed by Rasaka Theatre Company Artistic Director Lavina Jadhwani.

"Jude Narita's inspiring show traverses the broad scope of Asian American women's experiences here in the United States. From a polished news broadcaster to a new Cambodian immigrant stunned by the plenty at her local supermarket to a Japanese picture bride from the early 1900s, these vividly portrayed women show us the vibrant diversity of an Asian American experience that has been too often ignored. The writing is tender, hilarious, and always spot on. This heartfelt--and sometimes heartbreaking--performance by Ms. Narita shows all of us the power that the stage has to change the world."

First generation Chinese-Americans growing up in New York City, Vivienne and Luke confront a confused tangle of family, a diverse array of friends, and their rampant sexuality. In our digital age, how can they navigate the traditional expectations of their mother with their American culture of individuality?

"In a time when very few Latino playwrights seem to grace the stages of New York Theater, identity politics are often severely over-simplified. After a year of shocking and offensive yellow-facing on some of the worlds most prominent stages, I couldn't be more thrilled to be having the world premiere of a cautionary tail happen at The Flea with diverse cast of actors who represent not only New York, but what America looks like to me," says christopher oscar peña.

a cautionary tail was commissioned by NYU's Tisch School of the Arts' Graduate Acting Program (Mark Wing-Davey, Artistic Director).

Crowded Fire Theater (San Franciso, CA)
410[GONE]
by Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig
June 6 to 29, 2013 (Press Opening June 10)

Crowded Fire Theater (CFT) presents the World Premiere of Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig’s 410[GONE], opening Monday June 10 with a press night at the Thick House in San Francisco, (Previews June 6-8) running through June 29.

In 410[GONE] Cowhig creates a buoyant underworld landscape run by punk operatic Chinese gods and goddesses soaring with energy, humor, tricks, and avatars Winner of the Yale Drama Series Award, Cowhig has established herself as a fearless, fiercely intellectual writer.
“Cowhig’s voice pulses with raw, heartbreaking honesty as she examines the loving and fractured relationship between a dead brother and a sister who reunite in the underworld.” States Artistic Director Marissa Wolf.

In 410[GONE] a brother and sister are suspended in the interstitial spaces between their American culture and Chinese heritage as they wrestle within the lines of life and death.

Where do we go when we die? In Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig's dark and dazzling play 410[Gone], that all depends on how you play the game - the stakes are high. Under Taishan, a sacred mountain in China, the powerful Goddess of Mercy, Guan Yin, patiently awaits the arrival of the souls of the dead, freeing them from the pain of memory and releasing them into their next life. Told in richly poetic language, 410[GONE] looks at the bonds of love between siblings when a sister
searches for her lost brother in the Land of the Dead. In this underworld brother and sister must face the ultimate question: if there is no love without pain, what does it mean to love?

Evren Odcikin directs this World Premiere of Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig’s 410[GONE], featuring Cindy Im as Twenty-One, Chris Cortez as Seventeen, Charisse Loriaux as the Goddess of Mercy, Alexander Lydon as the Monkey King, and Michael Uy Kelly as the Ox Headed God. Lead video designer, Wesley Cabral, creates the landscape of the underworld in 410[Gone], he has worked with CFT on The Hundred Flowers Project, Invasion, and Wreckage.
