I recently wrote a piece for Concord Theatricals' "Breaking Character" series and I'd like to share the following excerpt with you:
“If I want the people on stage to truly reflect the colors of the diverse communities we live in, then it starts with me. Diversity was no longer an abstract concept; it became an actionable thing. And it wasn’t just about creating Asian roles; it was about creating characters that embraced the multicultural world we live in. My plays may or may not have an Asian element, but I always endeavor to engage with issues of underserved communities and specific interests.”
I'm sharing this with you because this is what I believe in. Every word I write as a playwright furthers that mission.
