Anna May Wong - Persona

A new play written by Kai Xing Mun


Congratulations to the cast of Anna May Wong: Persona!


Stay tuned for the video release of this amazing reading on our YouTube Channel!


Anna May Wong is a historical figure of cultural and artistic significance in an era that wanted to erase everything she was and stood for. Through Anna, we can look at law and war, as well as artists she worked with and politicians she met. Join Anna on her journey in acting and to look at arts and politics around the world as well as love and friendship. This play reading is directed by Emma Y. Lai.


Brooklyn, Bridge & Fence

Coming in April!



Written by Sabura Rashid and directed by Rhonda Passion Hansome.


Leslie, a young "millennial," tries to relax in the backyard of her newly acquired Bed-Stuy brownstone in Brooklyn just as Douglass Frederick, a long-time resident of the neighborhood, brings out his boombox and sets up his barbecue grill next door.  Can neighbors, new and old, bridge the fences that divide them?


Hope to see you soon!
