For the final production of its 2023-2024 season, Peterborough’s New Stages Theatre Company is presenting a staged reading of Yellow Face by Tony Award-winner and three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist David Henry Hwang.
Almost 80 per cent sold out, the final production will be put on for one night only at Market Hall Performing Arts Centre at 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 9th. The evening will include a special post-show question-and-answer session with the performers and guests, as well as an announcement about New Stages’ 2024-25 season.
Yellow Face is a fast-paced, hilarious, and thought-provoking contemporary comedy about a playwright who, despite being an advocate against “yellowface” casting, unwittingly hires a White actor to play the Asian lead in his play.
