Summer 2024: Winter Colors

August 13, 7pm

Transformation Theatre's 2024 Virtual Reading Series 

WINTER COLORS, a play about Fred, a Vietnam veteran, who walks into a nail salon and strikes up a conversation with Hoa, the salon's Vietnamese owner. How the past is very present in our everyday lives is a theme of many of my plays.

WINTER COLORS is also an example of pandemic and post-pandemic playmaking! While I was writing my play, I was reading about the rise of AAPI violence throughout the US. Fred, a former cop, is aware of the violence. It's one, though not the only reason, why he stops by the salon. He wants Hoa to be safe.

I have been fortunate to work on WINTER COLORS with:

Summer, 2021- Company One produced a workshop of the play, directed by Megan Sandberg-Zakian. Alison Qu was the dramaturg.

Summer, 2024- Transformation Theatre, Inc, presents play as part of its 2023-2024 Virtual Reading Season. Directed by Cate Brewer, with Kajoree Bhattacharya as the dramaturg,
