CHINESE REPUBLICAN COMMUNITY PERFORMANCE in partnership with Potluck Asian America, plus talkback

Saturday, February 28, 2026
2 – 4PM

Roundabout and Potluck Chinese America will host a performance & post show discussion, exploring themes of assimilation, intergenerational conflict, and gender politics in the workplace. CHINESE REPUBLICANS is a biting new satirical drama from Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Playwright Alex Lin and Award-Winning Director Chay Yew.

Three high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.

Shifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation, intergenerational conflict, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice and tells a truly American story.

Cast: Jennifer Ikeda, Ben Langhorst, Jully Lee, Jodi Long, Anna Zavelson
