Entitled Asian American Opportunities in American Theatre: “Why Not Asian? Why Asian?”, the event aims to find ways for theaters to provide more opportunities for Asian Americans.

The panel will also include the artistic directors of four of the leading theaters in Southern California: Christopher Ashley (La Jolla Playhouse), Sheldon Epps (Pasadena Playhouse), Marc Masterson (South Coast Repertory), and Michael Ritchie (Center Theatre Group). The discussion will be moderated by Linda Oku.
