For an area with 20% Asian American population, Seattle is very behind the curve in producing Asian American theatre. No less than 42 major Asian American works by people like David Henry Hwang, Hansol Jung, Jiehae Park etc. have yet to get Seattle premieres.

Still tickled that I'm a member of the Dramatists Guild. Not a playwright as a main gig, but I can legitimately write a produceable script.

Well, that's cool. Out of ten nominations (for stage acting in the Puget Sound area), four go to Asian Americans.
