SUBSCRIPTION PLAY 1 - WORLD PREMIERE
A WIDOW
OF NO IMPORTANCE
By Shane Sakhrani
Directed by Shaheen Vaaz
In association with South Asian Network and USC School of Theatre
September 8 - October 9, 2011
Deepa has been a widow for two years. Her only desire now is to see
her daughter married so that she can die in peace. But when her
recently divorced neighbor, also her son's best friend, professes
his love for her, her inner-cougar emerges to break tradition and
start living again. A smart and sexy comedy about creating new paths
and reaching for the stars.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National
Endowment for the Arts.

PLAY 3 - MAINLAND PREMIERE
THREE YEAR SWIM CLUB
Written by Lee Tonouchi
Directed and choreographed by Keo Woolford
February 9 - March 11, 2012
Inspired by the true life story of Soichi Sakamoto, who trained the
youth of Maui to swim in the plantation irrigation ditches on their
path to becoming Olympic champions. Set on the island of Maui in the
1930's, this heartwarming play becomes transcendent as the art of
hula becomes the metaphor for competitive swimming.
