"A refreshing look at Asian-American issues of race, gender and identity, layered with deeper questions of life and death. Gomolvilas's writing is tight, intelligent and funny. . . likeable characters and sharply written dialogue . . . a play worth seeing for its humor and humanity." - The Business Times, Singapore
Seven Asian Americans gather atop a Las Vegas wedding chapel every week to watch for UFOs and discover a unique personal bond as they each search for their own life's meaning. This vibrant and insightful comedy won the International Herald Tribune/SRT Playwriting Competition, the Julie Harris Playwright Award, and the PEN Center USA West Literary Award for Drama. A funny, moving, brilliantly written play about life and the meaning of existence by America's foremost Thai American writer.
The Theory of Everything is written by Prince Gomolvilas, directed by Manuel R. Cawaling, produced by Lorna Chin, Kathy Hsieh and Miko Premo with support from Steve Hayatsu, Agastya Kohli, Lisa Marie Nakamura and Roger Tang. The cast features Jose Abaoag, Stan Asis, Leilani Berinobis, Nancy Calos-Nakano, Kathy Hsieh, Miko Premo and more!
