Overview
Yellow Lens: Asian American Short Plays is an anthology of contemporary Asian American short plays. The plot for each short is rich and breaks apart stereotypes in the theatre. Not all characters are Asian American, but what makes the plays Asian American is the commitment to give each of her characters and the actors fresh voices that are not normally written for Asian American actors to perform. The characters and situations range from a teenage girl asking her grandmother (who collects cans for a living) for money to attend a concert, to two college students discussing the impact of recently having an abortion just weeks before they graduate from college, to a sorority pledge befriending a childhood friend. The plays include those that were in the original 2009 production, "The Relative," "Came To Believe," "Beauty and the Geek," "Twenty Dollars," "The Dinner Party," "The Breakup," as well as the bonus play "The Bonsai Tree."
