June 14–July 31, 2011
Written by David Henry Hwang
Directed by Steve Scott
A revealing backstage comedy from the Tony Award-winning writer of M. Butterfly, this ferociously funny, utterly unreliable memoir chronicles David Henry Hwang's struggle to define racial identity in the mixed-up melting pot of contemporary America. Part fact, part fiction, Yellow Face explores the pitfalls and promise of our "PC" world.
