The Mikado or The Ch*nky Chongy Yellowface Operetta: The Orientals are From the Future
by Lucky Chaos Theatre Projects

Mar. 12, 2015

Using only songs and text from The Mikado, the (almost) all-Asian/Pacific Islander American cast turn Gilbert and Sullivan's "classic" on its head. Set in an internment camp--in the FUTURE--we reclaim this piece from the white boys in yellowface. This is a workshop production in preparation for a full run in Fall/Spring. Be there, get offended. In a good way.

Directed by kt shorb.

Presented by Lucky Chaos Theater Projects and Generic Ensemble Company.

Ensemble: Jonathan Itchon, Saray, Rachel Steed, Jun Hee Ahn, Kubbie Kanoa Bailey, Leng Wong

Live accompaniment by: Tyler Mabry

Tickets $10 - $15 via eventbrite.
