SUMMARY:Play - Chinese Republicans
DESCRIPTION:Coming to Roundabout this winter\, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin\, directed by Chay Yew.  \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.   \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice\, and tells a truly American story.

SUMMARY:Exhibition - LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art
DESCRIPTION:LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art explores the intersection of art and sports through the work of contemporary Asian and Asian American artists. While often considered distinct fields\, this exhibition highlights how sport and artistic expression serve as interconnected arenas. Featuring artists and collectives across a wide range of artistic media\, LEGENDS examines how artists of Asian descent engage with the shared language of art and sport to reflect identity\, nationalism\, the body\, and performance.  \nThe first exhibition to specifically focus on the relationship between art and sports within contemporary Asian and Asian American art\, LEGENDS will debut works by The Chinatown Basketball Club\, Kaarina Chu Mackenzie\, and Astria Suparak.

SUMMARY:Play - Jesa
DESCRIPTION:JESA by Jeena Yi\, directed by Mei Ann Teo\, is a riotous and heart-wrenching new play that explodes the idea of the “perfect family gathering.” When four estranged Korean American sisters reunite in Orange County to perform their father’s Jesa—a traditional ritual honoring the dead—old wounds erupt\, secrets surface\, and ghosts (literal and emotional) refuse to stay buried. With razor-sharp dialogue\, explosive humor\, and unexpected tenderness\, JESA asks how we honor our ancestors when we can barely stand each other. Come for the sibling brawls and burning shrimp\, stay for the aching truth of what binds us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening - Changing Cultures: Zhen Guo\, A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:The Mishkin Gallery at Baruch College is proud to present Changing Cultures: Zhen Guo\, A Retrospective\, the first major survey of New York-based artist Zhen Guo (b. 1955\, Shandong Province\, China). The exhibition is on view from March 12 – June 12\, 2026\, and is accompanied by an illustrated brochure with a new essay on Guo by curator Gail Levin.  \nThe works on display span nearly sixty years\, from Zhen Guo’s first embroidery (Chairman Mao\, 1966) to her large-scale papier-mâché and sewn fabric breast sculptures and handmade tufted tapestries created between 2012 and 2025. The show explores an artist’s journey from China to New York; themes include an immigrant’s identity\, motherhood\, and the violence embedded in patriarchal cultures. Guo’s large-scale “muted landscape” paintings protest environmental injustice.  \nZhen Guo’s education was cut short at age twelve\, when she was assigned to work in a clothing factory. She later studied\, then taught\, at Zhejiang Academy in Hangzhou\, and immigrated to the United States in 1986. Recent solo exhibitions include “Zhen Guo: Embracing Kali” at Ethan Cohen Gallery\, NY (2026)\, “Unfolding her Life” at Bard College (2024)\, and “What is My Name” at Connecticut College (2023). Guo has organized numerous exhibitions of feminist art and is the founder and president of the Chinese Feminist Art Alliance\, NY. She lives and works in New York\, NY. \nChanging Cultures: Zhen Guo\, A Retrospective\, is curated by Gail Levin\, Distinguished Professor in Fine & Performing Arts at Baruch College and the Graduate Center\, CUNY. Guo’s retrospective follows Dr. Levin’s eponymous exhibition Changing Cultures: Immigrant Artists from China\, 1991\, on Chinese immigrant artists navigating worlds to express evolving identities. Levin’s most recent project is a biography of American artist Alice Baber\, published in February 2026 by Pegasus Press. This exhibition is made possible by the Edith B. Stein Symposium Fund\, Friends of the Mishkin Gallery\, and the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences at Baruch College (CUNY).

SUMMARY:Musical: At the Edge of Chinatown part of Rough Draft Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Created by the music group\, The Slants\, At the Edge of Chinatown follows three Asian-American teenagers navigating fractured identities while their family restaurants face extinction in a rapidly changing Chinatown. It’s an explosive musical about third-culture kids who must remix the old world to build their own\, proving that sometimes the most powerful form of preservation is fearless reinvention. With an emo/pop-punk score powering the show\, this story pulls from our own backstories of growing up in restaurants\, navigating Chinatowns around the world\, and figuring out what it means to forge an identity that’s entirely your own. \nOn March 12 at 7pm\, you’ll catch demo versions of songs performed by the two of us (Joe X. Jiang and Simon Tam) at the Little Theater (LPAC). Tickets are only $10\, and students get in free. After the performance\, stick around for a talkback where you can give us feedback and help shape this thing as we continue developing it. If you’re in NYC or know anyone who is\, grab tickets here…and please spread the word!
