Yellow Face

BY DAVID HENRY HWANG
DIRECTED BY DANIEL J. ESLICK

Good to be part of something bigger

Inspired by the real life controversy over the yellow face casting in Broadway’s Miss Saigon, this comedic faux documentary pokes at our own privilege and prejudice. For centuries, race and culture have been used to marginalize and disempower many in our society. Things get thorny when those same folks turn the tables and leverage race and culture for their own benefit.

HAPTIC TOUR
&
AUDIO-DESCRIBED PERFORMANCE
Sunday, JUNE 1
What’s THIS?

audio-described performances

During these performances, blind and low vision patrons may use headset devices provided by Gravity Access to listen to a live audio description of the show. The narration guides the listener through the performance with concise, objective descriptions of new scenes, lighting, costumes, facial expressions / body language, and “sight gags,” all slipped in between portions of the actors’ dialogue or songs.

For sighted patrons, these performances are the same as any other evening.

HAPTIC TOURS

Pre-show haptic tours allow blind and low-vision patrons to experience the space, performers, costumes, and props through touch, their own movement, hearing, and kinesthetic senses. Usually lasting 20 to 30 minutes, these tours lay a multi-sensory foundation to support the audio description. Doors for pre-show Haptic Tours open at 12:45 PM for check-in. We recommend arriving early as tours begin promptly at 1 PM. The audio-described performances start at 2 PM.

ASL-INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE

Sunday, MaY 283

ASL-INTERPRETED performances

We’ve partnered with Velvet Hands Interpreting Services to provide ASL (American Sign Language)-interpretation for this performance. ASL interpreters will be visible from every seat in the theater, with the specific location varying depending on the production. To access exclusive seats with the closest views of the interpreters, please reach out to the box office, or select the red “ASL Only” seats when choosing your seats.
For sighted patrons, these performances are the same as any other evening.

POST-SHOW CONVOS
Thursdays & Sundays

Stick around after the performance for a 30-minute discussion with Shotgun’s creative team. We’ll dive into the play’s themes and aesthetics, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. It’s a chance to connect, reflect, and engage with fellow audience members. The bar is open!
