Sampaguita

Synopsis:
the following description is from the show's press release: "This humorous Drama dives into the story of New York comedian Joshua Timms. This self-loathing man-child is left devastated by the loss of his wife. Despite the debilitating effects of her severe Lupus, she was the strong one-his caretaker. In her absence, grief sets his life into a couch-ridden waste until an unexpected gift arrives from his mother-in-law, a fiancee fresh from the Philippines." Sampaguita is being presented in association with the National Asian American theatre Festival.

YBW - Yellow Brick Wall: Angry White Men Played By Two Happy Asian Girls

Synopsis:
Rice Flower, a WWII, novel is green-lit to be the next blockbuster but these anti-exotic-blossoms face exploitation, objectification, and sexism. Two gregarious gals navigate a not-so-silk road playing 24 characters including Rush Limbaugh, Jim Kramer and Al Pacino. This aint no Oriental express, because we aint no carpet!
