How I Got that Story is a two-man black comedy about a naïve newspaper reporter who enters the maelstrom of Vietnam in the 1960s. Through his encounter with “The Historical Event,” a tour-de-force role of 20 characters portrayed by one actor, the reporter is transformed. Reuniting actors Brian Bielawski and Greg Watanabe from our Yellow Face cast, this production asks, where is the boundary between historical fact and subjective experience? Whose story is told through “objective media?”

Two Mexican girls. One household. Two paths.
Written by Tanya Saracho, who critics call, “the Chicana Chekhov,” Kita y Fernanda is the story of two girls who grow up together in an upper-class home in Texas: one a Mexican national living legally in the U.S., and the other the undocumented daughter of the maid. Opening a window into the diversity of the Mexican American community, Kita y Fernanda explores issues of immigration, language and class.
