FEATURED EVENT

New China Festival:  Staged Readings of Plays from the Chinese Speaking World

Staged readings of three plays translated from Chinese to English that highlight the work of contemporary playwrights from the Chinese speaking world. Stylistically and aesthetically diverse, the featured plays examine a Chinese society rife with tensions between tradition and accelerating change, consumerism and communism, and authoritarianism and personal freedom. New China Festival will also include a panel discussion about the state of theatre in the Chinese speaking world and the insights American audiences can gain from Chinese plays.

Sponsored by the National Endowment of the Arts

Not Quite White

 Not Quite White expands the American conversation on race by zeroing in on whiteness as a constructed social and political category, and it explores the complicated relationship of Arab and Slavic immigrants to American notions of whiteness.
