The Heart Sellers
by Austin Playhouse
Oct. 03 - Oct. 19
This moving new comedy is set eight years after the Hart-Celler Act of 1965 overhauled the U.S. immigration system. The play illuminates the Asian immigrant experience and asks, “Would you give up your heart to make a new home?”
The Heart Sellers will open on the 60th anniversary of the Hart-Celler Act, the landmark 1965 immigration law that reshaped American demographics by ending race-based quotas. The production’s run also overlaps with Chuseok, the Korean harvest festival honoring ancestors, and October’s Filipino American History Month, offering a relevant and poignant celebration of immigrant experiences and Asian American heritage.
The Heart Sellers stars Sarah Chong Dickey as Jane and Alexa Capareda as Luna.
Directed by Ben Wolfe. The production team also includes Mark Novick as lighting designer; Mike Toner as scenic designer; Ismael Soto III as properties designer; Robert S. Fisher as sound designer; and James Davery as production stage manager.
