Asian American plays provide an opportunity to think about how racial issues are engaged through theatrical performance physical contact; bodily labor; and fleshly desire as well as through the more standard elements of plot; setting; characterization; staging; music; and action.Asian American Plays for a New Generation showcases seven exciting new plays that dramatize timely themes that are familiar to Asian Americans. The works variously address immigration; racism; stereotyping; identity; generational tensions; assimilation; and upward mobility as well as post-9/11 paranoia; racial isolation; and adoptee experiences.Each of these works engages directly and actively with Asian American themes through performance to provide an important starting point for building relationships; raising political awareness; and creating active communities that can foster a sense of connection or even rally individuals to collective action.
