CELEBRATE NEW ASIAN AMERICAN THEATER. This series of staged readings of new works from Asian American playwrights is an artistic incubator for thoughts and ideas looking to be born onto the stage. For the 2022 festival, our playwrights are our Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Playwright-in-Residence Saymoukda Duangphouxay Vongsay, Katie Ka Vang and composer Melissa Li, and Keiko Green, who was one of our inaugural Mu Tang Clan members this past year. Their stories take us to Laos during a zombie apocalypse, reflect our everyday lives and its modern heartbreaks, and bring us back to our awkward high school days where we had to learn how to find our own powerand maybe save the world while doing it. (Was that not your high school experience?) Each script highlights different parts of humanity, and we are thrilled to be able part of these scripts development.For the full schedule, go to our website at theatermu.org.
