Inspired by real events, the playwright's fictionalized doppelgänger DHH (Kim) leads protests against yellowface casting in Miss Saigon, but then mistakenly casts a white actor as the Asian lead in one of his own plays.
The creative team includes set designer Arnulfo Maldonado, costume designer Anita Yavich, lighting designer Lap Chi Chu, sound designers and composers Caroline Eng and Kate Marvin, and projection designer Yee Eun Nam. Charels Means is production stage manager.
