A Co-Production Celebrating 25 Years of Mu Performing Arts and 51 years of the Asian American Theatre Movement

Dear Park Square and Mu Performing Arts Patrons:

I am so thrilled to be able to present , a groundbreaking co-production bringing together two of Saint Paul’s most remarkable theatres. As a member of the boards of both organizations, I have been able to watch this relationship evolve from its beginning, and am proud of the example it sets of an equitable collaboration between two very different theatres.

Park Square is excited to be able to share in the celebration of Mu’s 25th anniversary season – 25 seasons of sharing Asian American stories by Asian American artists with the Twin Cities. And Mu is honored to be sharing this story in partnership with Park Square, an organization with the heart and goal to share stories from all experiences, in a truly equitable way. We’ve enjoyed working together on this project, and I trust you will enjoy the result.

I would invite you to support both organizations as they continue to strive to bring great stories to the Twin Cities. And we thank you for the part you play – it wouldn’t happen without you!

Sincerely, Kari Ruth

Kari serves as board chair for Mu Performing Arts and is a board member of Park Square Theatre.

The Asian American performers American experience for 25 years who, against all odds, found a way and yet it feels more important to make a living in show business. now than ever to tell these untold It is hard to imagine the prejudice stories. This telling humanizes us. and racism that plagued their When humanized, we are no longer a journeys. And yet they persevered and generalized group of Asians, but rather reached great success on vaudeville circuits, individuals that love, hate, hurt, fear, and television variety shows and Broadway stages celebrate just like everyone else. Once you because of something that today’s Asian see us as one of you, then it is easier to have American artists also possess…the love of compassion. And compassion creates a the art and the dream to be acknowledged. better world. Unfortunately in terms of challenges, there are more similarities than differences David Henry Hwang’s Flower Drum Song between those artists in the 50s and the is about the earliest Asians to come to ones today. There is still an extreme lack of America, the Chinese. Set in the late 1950s, authentic representation and a profound the Chinese community already had a few feeling of invisibility. And yet we persevere. generations that were born here. There is an innate tension between generations around This historic co-production with Park the idea of holding onto cultural traditions Square has allowed us to have our and the desire to assimilate.
