Greetings~​

Hope everyone is doing alright these days.

​

Our concept album for FUSONG, a new musical I've written book & lyrics for (with music by Cecilia Lin  and based on Geling Yan's novel, "The Last Daughter of Happiness") is now available to stream! Honored to be named one of the NAMT Festival Committee's Recommended shows for 2025.

You can read more about the project on our show's website and on BroadwayWorld.com.

​

Save the date: On Friday, September 19, Pan Asian Rep is hosting a public reading of my play "Empress Mei Li Lotus Blossom" in NYC. Details to come! In addition, I'm so honored to be honored by Pan Asian alongside Dian Dong and George Takei at their 49th Anniversary dinner where they are "Saluting Empowerment and Service" on October 16. Info is here.

 

Currently working on rebooting "Talkback", the podcast I'm hosting, presented by the Dramatists Guild and the Dramatists Guild Foundation. We're in the midst of recording season 6, all about "Reinvention". My guests include my fellow Guild officers Amanda Green, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Kristoffer Diaz, and fellow Council members Lloyd Suh, David Henry Hwang, and Gretchen Cryer! Stay tuned. Looking for a late Fall re-launch!

One of the great joys in my life has been advocating for equal access and building community in the entertainment industry and I'm excited to have launched the Asian American Theatre Artists Collective, uplifting and illuminating AAPI theatre artists across all disciplines. More info is here.

​Still proud to share this music video of "We Choose Freedom", a song I wrote the lyrics to with composer/vocal arranger Kim D. Sherman, with the support of Broadway for Harris. Directed by Bruce Johnson, conducted by Roosevelt Credit, and featuring 11 wonderful women singers (you can see the full credits at the end of the video!)

 

No matter what, I wish you freedom and joy.
