Writing Fragments Home THEATREWORKS SILICON VALLEY SUPPORTS AAPI COMMUNITY THROUGH BENEFIT LIVESTREAM Writing Fragments Home By Jeffrey Lo Directed by Victor Malana Maog Video Production by Stephen Muterspaugh Livestream 7pm PDT Saturday, June 5 (PLus streaming on-demand June 6-9) A fundraiser for the Bay Area AAPI Community through Compassion in Oakland REDWOOD SHORES, CA (12 May 2021) – In a time where the manifestation of prejudice and violence toward the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community has reached an extreme high, TheatreWorks SiLicon ValLey will stream a benefit reading of Writing Fragments Home to raise funds to support and uplift the AAPI community. Written by Filipino American playwright and TheatreWorks Director of Community Partnerships/ Casting Director Jeffrey Lo, this comedic play is an unapologetically Filipino American story about art, family, and culture, exploring one playwright’s journey to rediscover his voice while combatting systemic racism. Co-presented by more than 40 leading theatres and arts organizations in the Bay Area and beyond, this reading will benefit Compassion in OakLand, a nonprofit formed in response to the surge of anti-Asian attacks and dedicated to promoting safety and community in Oakland Chinatown and beyond. Writing Fragments Home will be streamed live 7pm PDT, Saturday, June 5, 2021 (with streaming on-demand access available June 6 at 12pm PDT through June 9 at 7pm PDT). Viewers can sign up at TheatreWorks.org to receive a link to view Writing Fragments Home without charge, although donations are encouraged to support Compassion in OakLand—donation levels from $10-$100 are available in tiers named for popular Filipino dishes, including Lumpia Platter, Lechon, Pancit, and Adobo. For more information or to reserve streaming access the public may visit TheatreWorks.org. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ MEDIA CONTACT: Lauren Goldfarb, CARLA BEFERA & CO. Email: [email protected] “One of the big themes in Writing Fragments Home is loneliness and how sharing stories is a way for us to cure loneliness and build empathy in our world,” said Jeffrey Lo. “When I think about the tragic rise in hate crimes against the AAPI community, I can’t help but think about how scared, anxious and alone our community feels right now. I keep thinking about how these hate crimes were activated from a lack of empathy for people with different backgrounds and identities. My hope is that this project—in addition to financially supporting the incredible work of Compassion in OakLand—can inspire empathy, hope and make the members of the AAPI community feel a little less lonely and a little more understood.” Developed in a 2020 reading at TheatreWorks, Writing Fragments Home was a finalist for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival and a semi-finalist for the O'Neill Playwright's Conference. This reading is co-presented by Actor’s Reading ColLective, American Conservatory Theater, Aurora Theatre Company, BerkeLey PLayhouse, BerkeLey Repertory Theatre, BindLeStiff Studio, Brava!

Writing Fragments Home tells the story of Jay, a playwright who is forced to move in with his Filipino immigrant Mom after his girlfriend leaves him and he loses his job. Struggling with writer’s block and stuck sleeping on the couch, Jay must finally come face to face with the pressures and dreams of his parents while finding the bravery to fight for his voice as a young artist of color in America. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ MEDIA CONTACT: Lauren Goldfarb, CARLA BEFERA & CO.

  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.

    ART MAGAZINEVolume 38 Issue 6 MercuryHg Company II ART MISSION Artists Repertory Theatre’s mission is to produce intimate, provocative theatre and provide a home for a diverse community of artists and audiences to take creative risks. ANTI-RACIST STATEMENT Artists Repertory Theatre recognizes that we are a predominately white organization and operate within systemic racism and oppression, and that silence and neutrality are actions of complicity. We recognize the critical role the arts play in our culture and national conversation, and accept our responsibility to make positive change through our work, our practices, and our policies. We commit ourselves to the work of becoming an anti-racism and anti-oppression organization, and will work with urgency to end racial inequities in our industry and our culture. ARTISTS REP gratefully acknowledges our theatre rests on the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River.

  • Center of Northern California
    JAPANESE CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY CENTER OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WINTER 2007, CENTER VOLUME 15 Executive Director’s Message Fifty years ago, San Francisco Mayor George Christopher made history when, at the suggestion of President Dwight Eisenhower, he sent a four-member delegation from San Francisco to Osaka to establish the nation’s first sister city relationship with Japan. This year, in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the San Francisco-Osaka Sister City relationship, the JCCCNC in cooperation with the San Francisco-Osaka Sister City Association will be organizing three tours to Osaka to help strengthen and improve new relations between our two cities. The first will be the official trip of Mayor Gavin Newsom and a 44-member delegation in February to help promote friendship and the revitalization of Japantown. The second is the Shinzen Nikkei Youth Sports Exchange Program which will bring 20 youth and their families, totaling about 90 participants, to encourage youth to become grassroots ambassadors. The third is the San Francisco-Osaka Culinary Tour which will bring a delegation of 75 representing the finest in San Francisco’s culinary arts in an effort to promote cultural exchange between our two cities. As we look forward to the 50th Anniversary activities, we hope to make this year a historical event by bringing together our two cities most valuable resources – the citizens of San Francisco and Osaka. The mission of these citizen ambassadors is to learn, share and dialogue with the people of Osaka so that we may continue to improve understanding and develop new relationships toward enduring friendship and peace.
