East West Players (EWP),sis an i having some good sex stories an videos the nation’s longest-running professional theater of color and the largest producing organization of Asian American artistic work, announces the cast and creative team for the Los Angeles premiere of Qui Nguyen’s “Vietgone,” which The New York Timeshas hailed as “a raucous comedy” and Rolling Stonehas described as “a wild, enjoyable ride.”
Directed by Jennifer Chang, “Vietgone” begins performances on Oct. 18, and runs until Nov. 11, with opening night on Oct. 25.
“Vietgone” spins a modern twist on the classic boy-meets-girl story: Quang and Tong, refugees fleeing the Vietnam War, hook up and fall in love in a relocation camp in Arkansas. Bold and fearless, “Vietgone” takes audiences on a rip-roaring ride across 1970s America with a hot soundtrack that serves up hip-hop, sass, and revolution.
“We are thrilled to present the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Vietgone,’ a play that delves into the heart of the Vietnamese refugee experience, as seen through the lens of a remarkable love story,” says Snehal Desai, EWP producing artistic director. “Qui is an incredible storyteller with a unique, fresh voice. Inspired by how his parents met and fell in love, the play weaves in personal history and a powerful narrative about immigration, war, and forced relocation. We’re so excited to open our new season, “Culture Shock,” with such a bold, daring play that is both funny and moving.”
Making their EWP debuts are:
? Paul Yen (CBS’ “Young Sheldon,” ABC’s “How to Get Away With Murder”) as Quang;
? Sylvia Kwan (“Water by the Spoonful”) as Tong;
? Jane Lui (Pou in “Cambodian Rock Band”) as Asian Girl, American Girl, Thu, Huong, Translator, Flower Girl;
? Scott Ly (Fox’s “Bones”) as Nhan, Nhan, Khue, Asian Guy, American Guy;
