Year Zero, Cambodian American theater – Burbank, 6/1/11 – 7/3/11

Posted on June 7, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“How do you move forward in life when you’re stuck where you are? In Long Beach, CA, two young Cambodian-Americans search for an answer. Vuthy is a lonely 16-year-old who loves hip hop and Dungeons & Dragons. His ambitious older sister is starting to veer from her steadfast path to higher education and assimilation. With great humor and a modern sensibility, Year Zero sensitively explores how to escape a painful past while honoring the legacy of one’s own history. It’s a contemporary comedic drama about reinvention, redemption, and finding where we belong.”

The 3rd place winner of East West Players’ 2008 Playwriting Competition.

Posted on June 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As the Khmer Rouge once again attracts international attention, this world premiere play gets to the heart of the headlines. When Carter, an American telecom executive, brings his wife Mara on a business trip to Cambodia, he never imagines that the ghosts of this beautiful country will find a way to haunt their lives. As business deals unravel and personal negotiations brim with political consequences, Carter and Mara must decide if the salvation of one life is worth sacrificing the justice of many.

Featuring Greg Watanabe!

I feel like I should do a more in-depth post (or a series of posts)  about the festival. This is one of the API arts events of the year. Maybe I’ll do a series of featured films! In the meantime, this  basic announcement will have to do.
