Stories from the Stage

Being Asian

PREMIERING MONDAY, MAY 12 at 9:30/8:30c

We carry our histories, our hopes, and our humor into the search for belonging. When life falls apart and then slowly comes back together, Annie Tan learns that being the rock doesn’t mean carrying everything alone; Tae Chong’s Olympic trumpet dreams collide with the limits of his family's budget, teaching him that love sometimes sounds like compromise; and Shweta Bhatt confronts beauty standards in a trip to a threading salon, ultimately reclaiming her reflection - and confidence - on her own terms. Three storytellers, three interpretations of Being Asian.
