Broadway: Yellow Face – AAPI Community Night

Tony Award^® winner and three-time Pulitzer finalist David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) will make his Roundabout debut with the Broadway premiere of Yellow Face, his hilarious is-he-or-isn’t-he comedy of identity, show business, and (perhaps) autobiography. Starring Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman (Violet). 

Inspired by real events, the playwright’s fictionalized doppelgänger protests yellowface casting in Miss Saigon, only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. This Obie Award-winning and Pulitzer finalist play is a laugh-out-loud farce about the complexities of race. 

Post-show we will explore the vibrant practice of oral history and storytelling in our AANHPI communities within the city. Featuring panelists:

• David Henry Hwang,
• Rochelle Kwan (ThinkChinatown),
• J. Faye Juan (Queens Memory Project)
• Kilusan Bautista (Queens Public Library)-

This conversation will consider the need for and lasting impact of personal storytelling.
