SUMMARY:King of the Yees
DESCRIPTION:For nearly twenty years\, Larry Yee has been the heart and soul of the Yee Fung Toy Family Association\, a fraternal organization in San Francisco’s iconic Chinatown. But to his daughter Lauren\, a playwright living in New York\, the association is an obsolete relic of a vanishing world. When Larry suddenly disappears\, Lauren sets off on a wild quest to find him\, embarking on a surreal\, magical journey through the history and myths of her own lineage. KING OF THE YEES is a hilarious and heartfelt “kind of true” story by Signature resident artist Lauren Yee\, who turns her incisive comedic eye on what we inherit and what it means to truly be a Yee.  \n \nAbout the Playwright \n \nLAUREN YEE is proud to be a Signature Theatre resident playwright. She is an award-winning playwright\, screenwriter\, and librettist based in New York City. Prior to the pandemic\, Lauren was named by American Theatre as the second-most-produced playwright of that upcoming season. Recent plays include Cambodian Rock Band with music by Dengue Fever (South Coast Rep\, Oregon Shakespeare Festival\, La Jolla Playhouse\, Signature Theatre\, East West Players)\, The Great Leap (Denver Center\, Seattle Rep\, Atlantic Theatre\, Steppenwolf\, American Conservatory Theatre)\, King of the Yees (Goodman Theatre\, Center Theatre Group)\, and Mother Russia (Seattle Rep\, Signature Theatre\, upcoming at Hampstead Theatre\, South Coast Rep\, Trinity Rep). She is writing the book for the musical adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time\, with music and lyrics by Heather Christian. Honors include the Doris Duke Artists Award\, Whiting Award\, Steinberg/ATCA Award\, American Academy of Arts and Letters literature award\, Horton Foote Prize\, Kesselring Prize\, Primus Prize\, a Hodder Fellowship at Princeton\, and the #1 and #2 plays on the 2017 Kilroys List.

SUMMARY:Saigon
DESCRIPTION:In a bustling restaurant in both 1950s Vietnam and 1990s France\, strangers gather to eat\, drink\, sing\, argue\, remember\, and mourn. Across decades and continents\, lives intersect as people reckon with exile\, longing\, and the lasting impact of history. \nCreated by acclaimed director Caroline Guiela Nguyen\, Saigon is an epic and deeply personal portrait of migration\, memory\, and belonging. As characters search for lost homes\, lost loves\, and lost versions of themselves\, ordinary encounters unfold into a sweeping story of resilience and connection. \nBy turns intimate and expansive\, joyful and heartbreaking\, Saigon is a richly diverse theatrical experience that celebrates the lives shaped by movement across borders and generations.

SUMMARY:The Table
DESCRIPTION:Pink Fang’s The Table is a new performance work that premiered in June 2026 and is now back by popular demand with the 2027 Under the Radar Festival. Co-created by Mei Ann Teo and Erika Chong Shuch\, with choreography by Erika\, The Table features set and costume design by Peiyi Wong\, lighting design by Tuce Yasak\, sound design by Justin Hicks\, projection design by Hao Bai\, and dramaturgy by Tomi Tsunoda. The cast includes Ching Valdes-Aran\, maura nguyễn donohue\, Rami Margron\, Shannon Yu\, and Julia Gu. This remount is presented in association with Judson Memorial Church / Judson Commons and Under the Radar Festival. \nThe Table confronts the drives\, cravings\, and unrelenting impulses that propel us toward accomplishment and apathy. A woman runs\, chasing finish lines always pulled out of her grasp\, discarding again and again the utensils of living. What would happen if she stopped? Prying open the murky depths of human insatiability\, this piece holds a mirror to a body beholden to its own systems and the things we desire ever just out of reach. Ethereal and ever-mutating\, in shades of humor and hunger\, The Table creates and disassembles itself\, laying our desperations bare\, to live inside the question: what is enough?

SUMMARY:Meet Kabuki – The Art of the Onnagata
DESCRIPTION:TRADITIONAL KABUKI \nFriday\, March 12 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, March 13 at 7:30 pm \nFor over 400 years\, kabuki’s onnagata actors — those who undergo years of rigorous training to master female roles —have kept a carefully guarded secret: the art of transforming a male body into a vision of ideal femininity. In an extraordinarily rare and intimate behind-the-scenes production by Shochiku company\, audiences will watch that transformation unfold in plain sight — bare face to white-powdered skin\, rouge applied to pouting lips\, an elaborate wig set in place and a sumptuous costume assembled layer by layer. Following this live metamorphosis\, an actor handpicked by Shochiku dances the breathtaking Fuji Musume (The Wisteria Maiden)\, one of kabuki’s most beloved onnagata dance pieces. \nPerformed in Japanese with live English interpretation.
