CALENDAR OF EVENTS

November – December 2015

EVENT:

“Straight White Men”

Written and Directed by Young Jean Lee

Presented in collaboration with the Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA West Coast Premiere.

DESCRIPTION:

In “Straight White Men,” written and directed by Lee and co-commissioned by CTG, Lee offers a traditionally structured take on the classic American father-son drama. Ed and his three adult sons come together to celebrate Christmas. They enjoy cheerful trash-talking, pranks and takeout Chinese, but find themselves confronting a problem that even being a happy family can’t solve: when identity matters, and privilege is problematic, what is the value of being a straight white man?
