THA CHINK-MART

The Blank Theatre, 2017. (L to R: Rosie Narasaki, Glen Potter, Susan Lucas, Michael Yama, Adil Lavji, Tom Dang, Hannah Prichard)

In a small, suburban town in Long Island, New York, five Asian American teenage friends battle through high school—where they’re marked as Asians—and their ethnic home fronts—where they’re too American. Finding solace only amongst each other, they attempt to define for themselves what it means to be an Asian in America… for better or for worse.
