STORIES FROM CHINATOWN: a living theater project
DESCRIPTION Presented in conjunction with the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and the University of Washington School of Drama, this innovative and exploratory theater conference traverses through the heart of Seattle's Chinatown. History and memory come alive through site-specific theatrical performances, new works by local Asian American playwrights, and a discussion panel on Asian American Theater with top Seattle-based theater artists. There will also be a dim sum luncheon featuring keynote remarks by Philip Kan Gotanda, award winning playwright and seminal figure in the Asian American Theater movement.
