'King of the Yees' Calendar Release

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

July – August 2017

EVENT:

“King of the Yees”

by Lauren Yee

Directed by Joshua Kahan Brody

Produced in association with Goodman Theatre.

World Premiere Production.

DESCRIPTION:

For nearly 20 years, playwright Lauren Yee’s father Larry has been a driving force in the Yee Family Association, a seemingly obsolescent Chinese American men’s club formed 150 years ago in the wake of the Gold Rush. But when her father goes missing, Lauren must plunge into the rabbit hole of San Francisco’s Chinatown and confront a world both foreign and familiar. “King of the Yees” is a joyride across cultural, national and familial borders that explores what it means to truly be a Yee.
