In light of the show’s focus on Asian-American representation, we asked the company of Soft Power when was the first time they saw themselves represented on stage.
I honestly don't know that I have ever truly felt represented on stage before Soft Power. In other shows that I've seen or even been in, there's usually an element of otherness in those representations--whether it's portraying Asians as foreigners, as historical characters, and/or tokenism.
