SUBSCRIPTION PLAY 1 - LOS ANGELES PREMIERE

MYSTERIOUS SKIN
By Prince Gomolvilas
Based on the novel by Scott Heim

This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUBSCRIPTION PLAY 2 - PULITZER PRIZE WINNER

CRIMES OF THE HEART
By Beth Henley
Directed by Leslie Ishii

Meet three delightfully dysfunctional sisters: Babe has just shot her husband, Meg is fresh from the loony bin, and Lenny celebrates her birthday alone by sticking a candle in a cookie. This Southern Pulitzer Prize-winning classic gets a unique Asian American twist in an unforgettable night of laughter and tears.

CRIMES OF THE HEART is presented by special arrangement with
Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

SUBSCRIPTION PLAY 3 - WORLD PREMIERE COMEDY

WRINKLES
By Paul Kikuchi
Directed by Jeff Liu

Unbeknownst to his daughter and grandson, 73 year-old Nisei Harry Fukutani is an internet sensation! But to view his work, you'd have to turn off the parental filter and have a valid credit card. A sticky comedy about sex, lies, and Tiger Balm. Developed in East West Players' David Henry Hwang Writers Institute.

February 10 - March 13, 2011
