VIETGONE - San Diego Repertory Theatre, 01/25/18-02/18/18

1/8/2018

Vietgone

January 25 - February 18, 2018
Where:  Lyceum Space

By Qui Nguyen
Directed by Jesca Prudencio
Set Design by Justin Humphres
Costume Design by Anastasia Pautova
Lightind Design by Bo Tindell
Sound Design by Melanie Chen Cole
Dramaturgy by Jim Short
Assistant Direction by Christine Nathanson
Stage Management by Heather Brose

Cast
Ben Levin as Quang
Katherine Ko as Tong
Lawrence Kao as Nhan/Khue/Asian Guy/American Guy
Shaun Tuazon as Playwright/Bobby/Hippie Dude/Redneck Biker/Giai
Emy Coligado as Huong/Flower Girl/Thu/American Girl/Translator

This is the story of how Quang meets Tong, how they flee from Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War, fall in love in a refugee camp in Arkansas, take a life changing road trip across 1970’s America and eventually give birth to a playwright named Qui Nguyen (who happens to have written this play). This love story is like no other. Told through the eyes of a very contemporary young American who loves pop culture, this sexy comedy is a mash-up of comic books, hip-hop, martial arts and Hollywood action movies. Acclaimed as one of the most innovative playwrights in the country, author Nguyen embraces two cultures and two time periods using a uniquely infectious style that The New York Times calls “culturally savvy comedy.”

About the Show

“A raucous, immensely moving comedy.”
- The New York Times

“★★★★! High-energy triumph!” 
- The Guardian

"Riotous and simply honest."
​- LA Times

“Where else can you get a new perspective on America fighting the Vietnam War mixed with ninjas, rap, motorcycles, sex, profanities and lots and lots of love? Vietgone is a blast and is a perfect antidote to today’s anti-other rhetoric.”
–Kim Heil, Associate Producer

Note: Vietgone is told with explicit language.

Intrepid and New Village Arts present a co-production 
between two award-winning theatre companies!
BUDDY: THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY

Picture
Between 1957 and 1958, Buddy Holly and the Crickets had seven Top 40 songs, including “That’ll Be The Day” and “Peggy Sue”. Seen by over 22 million people around the world, Buddy celebrates the astonishing legacy of the young man with glasses whose musical career spanned an all-too-brief period during the golden days of rock ‘n’ roll. This hit musical will have you on your feet and “send you out of the theatre on an unstoppable high” (The Boston Globe).

Winner Olivier Award and Outer Circle Awards for Best New Musical

“Forget about feel-good. Buddy is feel-great, leaving its audience roaring for more.” – Vancouver Sun

“…a remarkable display of acting, singing, dancing and musicianship, all rolled into one.” – The Inquirer Daily News

At Intrepid's Horton Grand May 20 - July 2
OPENING NIGHT SUNDAY, JUNE 4, 7 PM 
(This is the only Sunday evening performance)

At New Village Arts July 13 - August 27
OPENING NIGHT SATURDAY, JULY 15, 8 pm

#SuperShinySara

Written by Wesley Middleton
Directed by 
Delicia Turner Sonnenberg

Touring San Diego County Schools February 1 - March 31, 2017.

Sara is an excellent storyteller and a pretty good older sister. Still, her life is nothing compared to the glamorous world of her idol, @ShoppyGoddess – a teenage fashion mogul and megastar on social media. Sara longs to escape into the fabulous online world of photos, fame, and followers. But when a magical event transports her right into the social media feed itself, she discovers that having a super shiny life may not be so perfect after all. Exploring themes of authenticity, deceit, friendship and redemption, this imaginative new play reveals how empowering it can be to create your own story and take pride in who you are.

CAST:
Shaun Tuazon, Rachael VanWormer, Amanda Arbues, & Jyl Kaneshiro.

Introduced in 1987, the POP Tour travels throughout the county, touring schools, libraries and community centers. Prior to each performance, a Playhouse teaching artist visits each school to engage students in an interactive workshop to explore issues and themes at the core of the play. The Playhouse also provides schools with a standards-based engagement guide that enables educators to integrate the play into their existing curriculum. After each performance, the cast and crew conduct a question and answer session with the audience.

Ideal for students in grades 3 - 6.
