Synopsis: Bill of (W)Rights is a political funhouse growing from a moment in history when self-censorship abounds and the populace is increasingly governed by fear. Nine playwrights offer ten plays, each based on one of the U.S. Constitution's first ten amendments. These pieces focus less on government interference and more on the interpersonal, from a father and daughter facing a criminal trial to the silence of an unfaithful husband "pleading the fifth" to his family -- not to mention a company of actors yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. The creation of the script, encompassing a diversity of voices and opinions, was itself an act of democracy, demonstrating that theatre can be a voice of revelation and revolution.

Synopsis: This award-winning play tells the story of a Chinatown girl who dreams about making it big in Hollywood. It takes its inspiration from the remarkable life of Anny May Wong, America's first and brightest Chinese American movie star, presenting her loves, her struggles, her humiliations, and her triumphs. It spans her humble beginnings and the rigors of training in the studio system of L.B. Mayer and Samuel Goldwyn, to the heights of success in such classic films as Shanghai Express with Marlene Dietrich. A loving and unflinching homage to a woman ahead of her time
