American Rice
Discovery Theater Performance |
|
|
(for ages 6-10) Three Asian kids -- a savvy urban music lover, a hyper-intelligent overachiever, and a shy newcomer who draws like a dream -- yearn to find their voice and their place in the talent show at school. In their struggle to be both Asian and American, they show us how to embrace our roots and showcase our strengths, while reclaiming our individuality and pride. Blending hip-hop, art, language, and audience participation, this imaginative story speaks to all new Americans finding their way in today's world. Celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
Note: $6, adults; $5, children (ages 2-16); $4, Resident Members.

Dasepo Naughty Girls
Korean Film Festival DC 2008 |
|
|
Note: This film is intended for mature audiences.
(2006, 103 min., directed by E. J-young, Korean with English subtitles) In this twisted musical comedy film that takes place in No Use High, it satirizes everything from internet dating to cross-dressing. Beneath the bawdy jokes, however, is a touching story about a poor, shy girl who tries to fit in at the weirdest high school imaginable.
Free, tickets (2 per person) distributed 1 hour before
