Pang Spa by David Johann Kim
On the outskirts of Los Angeles’ Koreatown, the Pang family, who were ruined by the ’92 LA riots, are now dealing with dementia, depression and loss when a mysterious young woman, Dora, arrives—and paradigms begin to shift. PANG SPA celebrates family, memory and identity… and the fact that a spa is anywhere that healing can at least begin…
Directed by Alberto Isaac
Featuring: Peter James Smith, Ken Narasaki, Ann Hearn, Jacqueline Misaye, Emily Kuroda, Kennedy Kabasares, and Samantha Tan.
(Un)rivaled by Rosie Narasaki
11th Century ladies-in-waiting Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon are, to this day, two of Japan’s most beloved writers. They also kinda hated each other. This play is about friendship, heartbreak, and what it means to be a female artist. Perhaps most of all, it’s about how no matter how much things change, the more they stay the same… Even after a thousand years.
