A kind visitor to my site had an interesting link as part of their signature in their email. The link was labeled “Second Generation” and it caught my curiosity. So I clicked on the link and was taken to the Second Generation website where I discovered:
“Founded in 1997 by Artistic Director Welly Yang, Second Generation is a non-profit theater company dedicated to bringing Asian American stories to the world’s stage. “
This is a very well designed website about an organization I have never heard about until now. Their upcoming production is called “Concert of Excellence” and will be staged at the Lincoln Center in NYC. Very classy and very exciting. It is very cool to see this kind of production being produced by the Asian community.
Thank you “sy” for your email.
Thanks for the posting.
Concert of Excellence is actually a musical/awards production and is the primary means of fundraising for future productions throughout the year.
“The Wedding Banquet”, a 2G production, is being performed in Seattle after a successful run in Asia. Hopefully it’ll run on Broadway.
