Her efforts to find out the truth send her on an unexpected journey of liberation. LONG SYNOPSIS East Vancouver: an immigrant mix, old and new. We witness Maria (60) hanging the laundry; we meet her neighbours, and see her exercising in the park with her charming soulful husband, Bing (65). Epic landscapes and the hint of loneliness. It’s Bing’s 65th birthday, and their grown daughter Ava (40s), her husband Jonathan (40s) and their biracial kids, baby Milly and Max (6), come home to honour him. Tipsy, Bing makes a heartfelt ode to his gal Maria, and is restrained and sweet. The day after, Maria is alone doing her usual tidying when she reaches into Bing’s suit pocket and discovers an orange g-string thong. We watch her reaction and her full range of emotions morphing between disbelief, shock, anger and fear.

  • Playwright's Note
    Playwright's Note The roots of FOB are thoroughly American. The play be­ gan when a sketch I was writing about a limousine trip through Westwood, California, was invaded by two figures from American literature. Fa Mu Lan, the girl who takes her father's place in battle, from Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, and Gwan Gung, the god of fighters and writers, from Frank Chin's Gee, Pop! This fact testifies to the existence of an Asian American literary tradition. Japanese Americans, for instance, wrote plays in American concentration camps during World War II. Earlier, with the emergence of the railroads, came regu­ lar performances of Cantonese operas, featuring Gwan Gung, the adopted god of Chinese America. 3 CHARACTERS FOB was first produced by Nancy Takahashi for the Stan­ (all in early twenties) ford Asian American Theatre Project. It was performed at DALE, a second-generation American of Chine: Okada House on March 2, 1979, with the following cast: GRACE, his cousin, a first-generation Chinese j STEVE, her friend, a Chinese newcomer. DALE ......................... Loren Fong GRACE ....................... Hope Nakamura STEVE ........................ David Pating PLACE The back room of a small Chinese restaurant Directed by the author; lights by Roger Tang; sets by George California. Prince; costumes by Kathy Ko; Randall Tong, assistant director. The play was then developed at the 1979 O'Neill Na­ TIME tional Playwrights Conference in Waterford, Connecticut, The year 1980. with the cast of Ernest Abuba, Calvin Jung, and Ginny Yang, directed by Robert Alan Ackerman. FOB was produced in New York by Joseph Papp at the SYNOPSIS OF SCENES New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theater, where it Act one, Scene 1.

  • The Chicano Theatre Movement and Actor Training in the United States
    FROM LA CARPA TO THE CLASSROOM: THE CHICANO THEATRE MOVEMENT AND ACTOR TRAINING IN THE UNITED STATES Dennis Sloan 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 May 2020 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Tim Brackenbury Graduate Faculty Representative Angela K. Ahlgren Cynthia Baron © 2020 Dennis Sloan All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor The historical narrative of actor training has thus far been limited to the history of Eurocentric actor training. Put another way, it has been predominantly white. While the history of actor training has been understudied in general, the history of training for actors of color has been almost non-existent. Yet scholars including Alison Hodge and Mark Evans have made direct links between actor training and both the evolution of theatre and the development of personal, artistic, and socio-political worldviews. Since the recorded history of actor training focuses almost exclusively on white practitioners, however, this history privileges the experiences and perspectives of white practitioners over those of color. Rooted in the argument that a history of actor training based so exclusively on whiteness is incomplete and inaccurate, this dissertation explores the history of actor training for Latinx actors, especially those who participated in and came out of the Chicanx Theatre Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and who went on to engage in other training programs afterwards. Relying primarily on original archival research, I document multifaceted attempts to train Latinx actors in the United States in the mid- to late twentieth century.

  • New Broadcast TV Series: the Good, the Bad, and the Too Bad by Steve Sternberg
    March 2021 #103 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ New Broadcast TV Series: The Good, the Bad, and the Too Bad By Steve Sternberg Because of the pandemic, this is the first time in 30 years I haven’t seen any fall pilots and have only seen a few mid-season shows prior to their premieres. So I’m reviewing these new series after watching at least the first few episodes during their regular broadcast runs. Also due to the pandemic, many returning scripted shows didn’t premiere until January or later. These include, ABC’s The Rookie, Black-ish, Mixed-ish, NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., Law & Order: SVU, New Amsterdam, Good Girls, FOX’s Prodigal Son, The Resident, 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star, CW’s Batwoman, All American, Riverdale, Nancy Drew, Legacies, Charmed, Black Lightning, The Flash. Still to come this spring include, NBC’s Manifest, FOX’s The Moodys, and CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, In the Dark, and Dynasty. Here’s a look at the new broadcast series premiering so far this season: A Sternberg Report Sponsored Message The Sternberg Report ©2021 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Big Sky (ABC): David E. Kelley crime drama centering around a seemingly harmless long-haul trucker (the always good Brian Geraghty) and state trooper (John Carroll Lynch) in Montana, an unlikely pair who are involved in abducting women as part of a human trafficking ring (and killing anyone who gets in their way). When teenage sisters (Natalie Alyn Lynd, Jade Pettyjohn) and a trans sex worker (Jesse James Keitel) are taken, an ex-cop and private detective (Katheryn Winnick, Kylie Bunbury) race against the clock to find the girls – bumping heads with local police along the way.
