SUMMARY:Exhibit: Creating Kosher Chop Suey
DESCRIPTION:What happened when chop suey\, a Chinese dish with American roots\, encountered Jewish customers in New York at the turn of the century? A new Center for Women’s History installation in the Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Niche sheds light on the vibrant\, gastronomic collaboration between two ethnic communities. From debates in the Yiddish press to the publication of  kosher Chinese cookbooks\, and from representations in fine art to restaurant ephemera\, the installation explores how Jewish and Chinese women\, with a shared love for food\, together introduced a new phenomenon in the 1960s: kosher Chinese cuisine. Curated by Shiyong Lu\, Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Fellow in Women’s History and Public History\, and Anna Danziger Halperin\, Director for the Center for Women’s History.  \nImage: Gifford Reynolds Beal (1879–1956). Chinese Restaurant #1\, ca. 1930. Oil on wood panel (reproduction). The New York Historical\, Gift of Charles H. Berman and Norman and Joanne Berman\, 2022.9

SUMMARY:Exhibit: The New York Sari: A Journey Through Tradition\, Fashion\, and Identity
DESCRIPTION:The New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City and how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress. \nThe New York Sari centers the sari as an essential part of the cultural fabric of New York City\, using it as a metaphor for the ways in which the individuals who wear and create saris have straddled tradition\, culture\, and modernity in their work\, art\, and lives. The exhibition tells the stories of who wears saris\, the relationship between saris and identities\, and how they’ve evolved over time. \nThe New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City from the Gilded Age to the present day\, beginning with the little known history of Coney Island’s first theme park and culminating with the vibrant communities that are home to the South Asian diaspora today. Offering a unique history of migrant communities and gender in New York City\, the exhibition explores how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress.

SUMMARY:Theater: Chinese Republicans (with Discount Code)
DESCRIPTION:Buy tickets from $39 using code CR39.\nComing to Roundabout Theatre this winter\, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Playwright Alex Lin and Award-Winning Director Chay Yew. \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder. \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice and tells a truly American story. \nCast: Jennifer Ikeda\, Ben Langhorst\, Jully Lee\, Jodi Long\, Anna Zavelson \nHarold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre\, Laura Pels Theatre\, 111 West 46th Street\, New York\, NY \nLink to buy tickets: Chinese Republicans – Roundabout Theatre Company

SUMMARY:Theater: Jesa (with Discount)
DESCRIPTION:By Jeena Yi\nDirected by Mei Ann Teo\nMa-Yi Theater Company in Residence \nJESA by Jeena Yi\, directed by Mei Ann Teo\, is a riotous and heart-wrenching new play that explodes the idea of the “perfect family gathering.” When four estranged Korean American sisters reunite in Orange County to perform their father’s Jesa—a traditional ritual honoring the dead—old wounds erupt\, secrets surface\, and ghosts (literal and emotional) refuse to stay buried. With razor-sharp dialogue\, explosive humor\, and unexpected tenderness\, JESA asks how we honor our ancestors when we can barely stand each other. Come for the sibling brawls and burning shrimp\, stay for the aching truth of what binds us. \nEnjoy $10 Off All Performances With Discount Code: MAYIJESA \nCommunity Nights: \nMarch 22\, 1:30PM: Talkback – Care\, Courage\, and Collective Action: Safety in Uncertain Times\nWe invite you to stay after the 1:30PM performance for a post-show conversation addressing the recent surge in anti-immigration policies\, the erosion of constitutional rights for BIPOC communities\, and the impact on New Yorkers.

Featuring Yuh-Line Niou (former New York State Representative)\, Hae-Lin Choi (co-founder\, Hands Off NYC)\, and others. \nMarch 26\, 7:30PM: AAPI Community Night \nMarch 29\, 1:30PM: Chinese Open Caption \nApril 4\, 1:30PM: Talkback with Cast and Creatives of JESA\nJoin us for a conversation with director Mei Ann Teo and others about the creative process of producing Jeena Yi’s World Premiere of JESA after the show.

SUMMARY:Theater: Four Seas Players: The So-Called Perfect Life
DESCRIPTION:In their pursuit of a perfect life and a perfect marriage\, a couple enrolls in a revolutionary AI system called Perfect Life\, a device that promises certainty\, compatibility\, and lasting love. \nBut instead of fixing their relationship\, the system begins to excavate it—dragging buried memories\, unresolved conflicts\, and unlearned lessons back to the surface. As the AI rewinds\, analyzes\, and reconstructs their past\, the couple is forced to confront a difficult truth: perfection cannot move them forward until they understand what they’ve been avoiding. \nA darkly humorous and emotionally piercing exploration of love\, choice\, and accountability\, The So-Called Perfect Life asks whether intimacy can ever be optimized—and whether a future together is possible without first facing the mess of being human. \nPlaywright: Patrick Lee \nCo-Directors: Patrick Lee & Wing Lo \nTicket Prices: Early Bird $21.80\, Seniors $13.48 \n  \nAbout The Four Seas Players\nTHE FOUR SEAS PLAYERS was founded by Dr. Joanna Chan\, Ms. Sun Fu Lo\, Dr. Leo Yam\, and Mr. Chung Lo in October 1970 in New York City’s Chinatown\, as a community outreach program for young people and recent immigrants. Its purpose is to promote a spirit of harmony and cooperation through artistic involvement and to nurture an interest in and appreciation for the dramatic arts\, especially in the tradition of Chinese culture and its relationship with the Western art form as seen in New York. The name “Four Seas” represents the first two Chinese characters in the ancient saying: “Within the four seas\, all men are brothers.”
