Star Daniel Dae Kim’s production company, 3AD, will partner with PBS on the capture.
The Roundabout Theatre Company (RTC) production of “Yellow Face” will be preserved in a live capture for PBS. The David Henry Hwang play will be filmed during performances on Nov. 21 through 23 at Broadway’s Todd Haimes Theatre. “Yellow Face” will air as part of PBS’ “Great Performances,” a five-decades-long series which captures all disciplines of the performing arts on film.
This announcement comes in advance of the limited engagement’s Nov. 24 closing date. Featuring direction by Leigh Silverman, “Yellow Face” began previews on Sept. 13 and opened on Oct. 1. Daniel Dae Kim stars as DHH, an Asian-American playwright who objects to the act of yellow-face casting in a musical, only to mistakenly cast a white actor in an Asian role in his own play. Kim’s production company, 3AD, will partner with PBS on the capture.
