SIS Productions presents FIRST Asian American playwrights' festival

Saturday, December 2, 2006
Northwest Actors Studio
1100 East Pike Street 2nd Floor
on 11th Avenue, off of Pike Street on Seattle's Capitol Hill

Hungry for more from Seattle's current theatre scene? Sample new work from six Seattle writers. Insatiable! is a day-long festival of readings by Seattle's next generation of Asian American playwrights.

Tickets are $5 per reading for general admission; $9 for a 3-reading pass; or $12 for an all-fest pass.

12noon
Kimber Lee
TBA: A Work In Progress
A new play from local writer Kimber Lee.

2pm
Richard Sloniker
Cracks in the Ceiling
A man slips into Germany in the 1930s to conceal self-inflicted wounds, oblivious to the looming political storm enveloping Europe. He discovers that even a fraction of a second is all that is needed to decide whether to really live.

3:30pm
Serin Ngai
Peace & Truth
Peace & Truth explores the approaching death of an elderly Chinese American woman.

6:30pm
Roger Tang
Third Generations Nikkei
Third Generations Nikkei examines the lives of three Japanese American women as it spans their lives and the times they lived in, from World War II to the turbulent 60s to the extremely uncertain present.

8pm
Kathy Hsieh
B4
Three couples. Three time periods. One apartment. Grace and Jimmy are re-starting their lives again after being interned at Camp Minidoka during World War II. Walter tries to support his family by breaking the blacklist. Christina desperately searches for information about her husband after he leaves for the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001. Apartment B4 contains the intimate stories of ordinary people and how the lives of those who lived before provide lingering lessons for those who live today.

10pm
Daniel Arreola
Dome Light
Set against metropolitan living, two friends set out to test their self-worth . . . to each other and themselves. Travis and Veronica are two twenty-somethings dealing with the ups and downs of self-medication and the sociological norm per se. There's never a sober moment in this witty, crass, and hysterical look at what friends do to each other and what they don't want their friends to know.
