Hello! Happy everything!
I'm deeply honored to be this year's recipient of the Patrick Quinn Award for distinguished service from the Actors' Equity Foundation. Patrick leaves an enduring legacy of stalwart and compassionate leadership, and this recognition of my advocacy work is profoundly meaningful to me.
I was also recently awarded a place in the Lucille Lortel Theatre's Alcove New Play Development "Leap of Faith" cohort in support of my new play "Unnatural Causes".
I have been working with my incredible collaborator and friend composer Cecilia Lin on a couple of new projects, one of which is FUSONG, an adaptation of a powerful novel by Geling Yan, directed by Gabriel Barre. We had our first workshop of the show in NYC a few months ago and it was so great to be in the room with so many fantastic actors and other team members. Stay tuned for some upcoming exciting news about this project!
I'm thrilled to be one of the inaugural recipients of a Catalyst for Change Fellowship from the Dramatists Guild Foundation, to create The Asian American Theatre Artists Collective. You can follow us at @aatheatreartists on instagram as we roll out initiatives to amplify and illuminate AAPI theatre artists across all disciplines.
I've been elected for a second term as Treasurer of the Dramatists Guild, along with Amanda Green (our first female President), Branden Jacobs-Jenkins as VP and Kristoffer Diaz as Secretary. To read more, here's the original press release.
Seasons 1,2, 3, 4, and 5 of the podcast that I host for the Guild, "The Dramatists Guild presents Talkback" are available to listen to on the Broadway Podcast Network, Apple, and Spotify. We're on pause for season 6, but I'm looking for new ways to come back soon!
Peace and Love to All.
