Question 27, Question 28

Asian American Theater Company presents a star-packed reading of Question 27, Question 28, written and directed by Chay Yew, and featuring Emily Kuroda, Tamlyn Tomita, Dian Kobayashi, and Shannon Holt.

What happened to the women of the Japanese American internment? How did these brave women keep hope alive in the American dream? This play weaves a story of the struggles, plights and courage of Japanese American female detainees of the American internment camps of WWII.

Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the Zellerbach Fund, and the Asian American Theater Company, nationally-recognized playwright, Chay Yew drew from the special archives of the Japanese American National Museum to create a documentary theater project based on the testimonials, transcripts, documents and interviews with Japanese American female internees living in California during World War II.
