Ms. Oriental

In a time where diversity seems to be a heated issue everywhere and especially in the performing arts community, how do we embrace the conversation on representation and identity? We put it in a play. Ms. Oriental is a new American play by Asian American writer Marisa Marquez. When an Asian American actress finds herself among some of the most influential women in Asian history, she takes a magical theatrical journey that forces her to question her own identity. When she awakens to the reality of a hospital bed, she finds the road to self-discovery blocked by her own despair. Join us for a reading of  Ms. Oriental, followed by a dialogue between the performers, playwright,  and the audience.
