The Chinese Lady – Play – Mini Review – ArtsWest and Yun Theatre

Congrats to ArtsWest & Yun Theatre on the sold-out closing weekend of Lloyd Suh’s The Chinese Lady. Starring Zoe Ding & Sebastian Wang. Searing look at the zoo-like exoticism & carnival-like otherism (dare I say "fetishization") forced upon Asian Americans leaving you to ponder what else gets lost in translation as a dehumanized specimen. Adair MacCormack’s veil curtain design was a nice visual touch. In-person tickets may open up at the box office before the last performance tomorrow.... Click to read more

Conscience – Play – Mini Review – Taproot Theatre

Joe DiPietro’s Conscience play at Taproot Theatre draws uncanny, chilling parallels between McCarthyism and today’s politics. Jonathan Swindle delivers a wonderfully unhinged performance. Brilliantly met by Alyssa Keene’s elegant, pearl-draped Transatlantic conservative idealism and her well-cast sidekick-w/-a-secret Christopher Clark. The measured verbal cat fights w/ Kelly Karther were delicious. Framed by Mark Lund’s classical DC-meets-Greek architectural facade. Sharply written & urgently relevant. See it before it closes 10/17! ... Click to read more
