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. TV: ”Pachinko” (Apple)\, “Soundtrack” (Netflix)\, “Interior Chinatown” (Hulu)\, “Billions” (Showtime)\, “Clipped” (FX). She’s previously developed pilots for Netflix and Apple and is currently developing TV and feature projects for Netflix and Universal. BA: Yale\, MFA: UCSD. laurenyee.com

SUMMARY:Juliet & Jul-Yingtai
DESCRIPTION:Juliet & Jul-Yingtai  \nWritten by Wisteria Deng\, Directed by Sissi Chen \n“She carries it on her back first\, but it strains her neck.\nKicking it forward hurts her legs\, and it screeches too.\nWhen loaded on her arms\, it presses into old wounds.\nNow she tries hugging it\, shifting forward in tiny shuffles.\nBut when it grows bigger\, she can no longer see the road.” \nGenerations of women have sought a room of one’s own. It is a small yet powerful ask — with a room\, one can dream. But what if a room is not enough? We need a stage of our own — a world of our own. In our world\, we define power on our terms. 我们创造自己的游戏。 \nJuliet & Jul-Yingtai is a world of our own. Here\, one does not conquer through violent fits. Instead\, we take root in the deep earth. Come spring\, we offer shades to each other\, leaves holding hands\, ushering in the next season. Here\, power lives in the memory. Always an uphill battle\, remembrance is a statement of resistance\, a decision to stay true to oneself\, and an expression of tender\, endless love. \nUltimately\, this is a story of love — of how women love. We have been taught to love as mothers\, daughters\, wives\, sisters. But when was the last time someone taught us to love ourselves? To love someone the way we love ourselves? Our body is not an apology. Our memory is not a curse. Our love is not a weakness. We invite you into this world of our own. In the next hour\, experience the power of an ancient Goddess\, the act of choosing to remember\, the journey of women learning to love one another\, then — against all odds — learning to love themselves.
