Three Kingdoms By Anna Moench Directed by Victor Maog Monday, June 9th at 7pm

A multigenerational drama about the complexities of the Asian American experience. It’s summer in the suburbs, and Wendy’s father, Han, is arriving on a flight from China. After 40 years of no contact, they have a lot of catching up to do. Wendy has a happy family, a lovely home, and is living the American Dream. But when he arrives, everyone quickly realizes that picking up where they left off won’t be easy.

Galois By Sung Rno and Aaron Jones Directed by Victory Maog Monday, June 16th at 7pm

A rock-mathematical-musical expression of the chaotic, brilliant, and all too brief life of Evariste Galois, who discovered a branch of mathematics as a precocious teenager, yet died in 1830′s revolutionary Paris at 21 in a duel over a woman’s love.
