We are moving forward with my new theatre company, Cedar Grove OnStage,
which will be presenting new Asian American theatre works at the
downtown Los Angeles Theatre Center, beginning in 2008. Our debut
production will be a great new play by the award-winning veteran
performance artist, Dan Kwong, with the working title, "Show Me Some
Stuff" (see synopsis below).
We have already had two readings,
and in further developing the play, will be workshopping it in
November. This will allow us to have the cast work on their feet,
incorporating movement, which there is a lot of. The play will include
displays of martial arts, as well as disco dancing.
We have
just begun the casting process, and the casting notice below will be
coming out this week, on various casting sites and publications.
Thanks again for reading,
CT
