Mom, Dad, I’m Living with a White Girl
A Chinese son must tell his parents he has moved in with his white girlfriend. In a counter-narrative, the play explodes Asian stereotypes in a B-movie spoof called Wrath of the Yellow Claw.
Electricidad
In the years following the murder of her father by her mother, Electricidad is committed to vengeance. To get it, she’ll need her brother, Orestes, to return from Las Vegas and help her finish the job. Transporting Sophocles’ Electra to the Los Angeles barrios, Luis Alfaro investigates violence, loss, and redemption through the lens of this age-old tragedy.

A Nanking Winter
Past and present intertwine in telling the story of the Japanese occupation of Nanking in 1937. A young writer’s campaign to ensure the past is not forgotten is challenged as she prepares for her book release – transporting us to one of the greatest horrors of the twentieth century. Nanking, China’s capital in 1937, is in the first weeks of invasion. In the midst of the rampage a small group of unlikely heroes band together to create refuge from the horror: an account of survival in the darkest of times.
