Brief Description of the Show
Engaged in the metaphoric play of the Filipino shell game Sungka, De La Cruz recounts the tumultuous terrains of growing up Filipina American. With humor and poignant honesty, De La Cruz creates a colorful canvas and explores familial and societal expectations around gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race and SPAM. This eclectic mix of spoken word, stories, song and movement magically weaves one of the many strands in the tapestry of the Filipina American journey. Written and performed by Alison M. De La Cruz. Directed by Sharon M. Lewis, Dramaturg Judy Soo Hoo, Production Manager Sergio Marin, Original Lighting Design by Jerry Linsangan. Portions of "Sungka" were developed at the David Henry Hwang Writers Institute, East West Players.

I Remember Mapa
by Alec Mapa
February 1 to 20, 2000
Northwest Asian American Theatre in association with the Mark Taper Forum's Asian Theatre Workshop is proud to present award winning actor/performer Alec Mapa in the Northwest premiere of his hit solo show, I REMEMBER MAPA. The show runs through Feb 1 - 20, Tues -Sat at 8 p.m. and Sun at 4 p.m. HALF PRICE tickets are available for the Tues Feb 8 and Wed Feb 9th performances.
Call 340-1049 for reservations now.
Mapa is a power house performer and I REMEMBER MAPA has received rave
reviews.
"This guy is hilarious!" -- The Seattle PI
"There are many bits that will have you laughing days after" -- The Stranger
"A wild and witty ride!" The Seattle Times
This wickedly funny one-man show originated at the Mark Taper Forum's Asian Theatre Workshop in Los Angeles, and has since played to sold-out houses in New York, San Francisco and San Antonio. Based on his true-life experiences, the piece chronicles Mapa's colorful adventures-- through rise, fall and rebirth--as a gay Filipino American actor in the entertainment industry. Told with flamboyant wit and searing honesty, this exemplary solo piece is ultimately a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit.
NWAAT is thrilled to present Alec Mapa in his Seattle debut. Mapa made his professional debut at age 23 playing the role of Song Liling in the Broadway production of David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly. After playing the role for nearly a year, Mapa then went on to star in the National Tour. Other Broadway credits include A Little Hotel On The Side and Timon of Athens (National Actor's Theatre). I Remember Mapa received the 1998 L.A. Weekly Award for Best Solo Performance. Mapa has guest starred on more than thirty televisions shows, including Friends, Roseanne, Seinfeld and NYPD Blue. His film credits include Bright Lights, Big City and A Substance of Fire.
