DumB Asian
June 27-28, 2025 at 7:30 PM
June 29, 2025 at 2 PM
The words, “Dumb” and “Asian” don’t seem to normally go together. But comedian Yola Jean Lu is set to prove you wrong. Backed with jokes and examples of all the times she’s been dumb, Yola explores how the stereotype of Asians commonly being seen as model minorities is harmful and incorrect. She is literal proof. From graduating at the bottom of her class, taking remedial math classes all her life and getting a 1.0 GPA (one time!) - Yola is the classic example of a very average, if not below average, Asian.
Come see this show before Yola takes it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August!
Doors: 7:00 PM & 1:30 PM
Show: 7:30 PM & 2:00 PM
The Golden Door: an American immigrant song cycle
JuLy 18-19, 2025 at 7:30 PM
July 20, 2025 At 2 PM
A cast of five standout Seattle musical theatre performers, joined by a live band, perform a compelling series of songs based on the real words of people in American immigrant communities.
The Golden Door draws from a series of interviews conducted by composer Shaudi Bianca Vahdat with members of BIPOC immigrant communities in the US. Using these interviews, historical documents, and her own identity as a second generation Iranian-American, Shaudi has crafted a series of songs honoring, exploring, and finding joy in these diverse tales of coming to the US. The show is approximately one hour with no intermission.
