Tourist Trap

Wednesday, June 12, 2024
7 – 8:30PM

TOURIST TRAP, a new play by Elijah Guo, is having its Off-Broadway premiere at Ars Nova’s ANT Fest on June 12 only!

Grace, Deborah and Shu-Ling are trapped in Times Square. Will they find the World’s Largest Applebee’s before it’s too late? In TOURIST TRAP, three Asian-American mothers reckon with identity crises, a creeping sense of dissociation…and a seedy, off-brand Elmo who won’t leave them alone.

Tickets are pay-what-you-can starting at $5, but 100% of proceeds go to the artists, so more is welcome! There’s also a bar onsite plus an after-party open to the attendees.

Written by Elijah Guo
Directed by Dylin Taylor
Featuring Marsha Yuan, Eureka Nakano Grimes, Misako Yamagishi, and Anthony Naranjo

Stage managed by Melvin Yen
Produced by Qingan Zhang
Dramaturgy & Co-Production by Jason Wang
