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:Association for Asian American Studies 2026 Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Our 2026 AAAS gathering in Hawai‘i coincides with a series of anniversaries that present a timely opportunity to consider the promises and limits of Asian American Studies from the belly of the U.S. imperial beast. Here we’re especially thinking about how 2026 marks the semiquincentennial of the United States’ declaration of independence from the British Empire and the birth of its own world historic imperial vision that extended its reach from the Atlantic into the Pacific; the 50th anniversary of the first “landing” that liberated the island of Kaho‘olawe from decades of U.S. Navy live-fire bombing\, a Kanaka Maoli-led effort that helped spark the modern sovereignty movement; and the 80th anniversary of the Great Hawai‘i Sugar Strike\, an island-wide\, interethnic\, working-class shutdown of the plantation industry.
