Screening of Yellow Face
Tuesday, September 30, 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Tony-winning playwright David Henry Hwang’s comedy from Roundabout Theatre Company stars Daniel Dae Kim (Lost, Hawaii Five-0) as an Asian American playwright who protests yellowface casting in the blockbuster musical Miss Saigon, only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. The repercussions resonate in this farce about the complexities of race.
Filmed in November 2024 and directed by Leigh Silverman (Violet, Suffs), Yellow Face is an “is-he-or-isn’t-he” comedy of identity, show business and autobiography.
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion featuring Francis Jue, winner of the 2025 Tony Award, and director Leigh Silverman.
We invite you to join us for this special screening and thought-provoking conversation.
