What's New Acting Writing Diversity At Home Email
Paper Son
Transcending

On the writing front, my play THE NEW DEAL was given the honor of being the first play to be developed by the Roundabout Theatre Company in its "Different Voices" program last June. Based on my family's life in the restaurant business as well as my own cultural ephipany as a proud Asian American, it was a joy to see it come to life in that setting.

Also, my new short play, EVER SEE A FAT CHINESE? will make its debut in a summer festival at New Perspectives Theatre Company in August.

And I am working on THE FAUX DESIGNER HANDBAG CAPER, a play in which three friends go on a wild ride looking for the perfect fake purse - and find that authenticity may very well be in the eye of the beholder.

And I am the proud recipient of a grant from the Boomerang Fund for Artists in recognition of my writing and acting careers. http://www.boomerangfund.org

We have also been given a second year grant from the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program to take TRANSCENDING: THE WAT MISAKA STORY to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento, California. Stay tuned for details!

JUMPING THE THIRD RAIL, an urban-hip-hop-sports feature length film is also in development. Click Here to read more about these projects, or to learn more about our award-winning short film, ALL AMERICAN EYES, you can visit our production company's website:

Other exciting news: I join such luminaries as the late great Lloyd Richards, Jane Alexander and Tina Howe in a wonderful, comprehensive book called" THE WORLD OF THEATRE, Tradition and Innovation". My profile is an interview about a subject near and dear to my heart: Non-traditional Casting.

I am also now listed in "Who's Who of American Women".
