Shotgun Players Presents YELLOW FACE by David Henry Hwang & Directed by Daniel J Eslick. This sharp-witted, semi-autobiographical comedy follows playwright DHH as he accidentally casts a white actor in an Asian role. Inspired by the real-life controversy over the casting of Broadway’s Miss Saigon, and blending satire with faux-documentary flair, Yellow Face unpacks identity, hypocrisy, and the complexity of representation in America—with hilarious and poignant results.⁠

Exciting premieres and old favorites define Dance Series 2. Artistic Director Amy Seiwert creates a World Premiere, her 13th ballet for the Company. Trey McIntyre returns to Smuin with the Bay Area premiere of his Wild Sweet Love, an ode to the ups and downs of love set to a range of music from Mendelssohn to Queen.
