We check out Blue Bayou, the new film written and directed by Justin Chon, who also stars opposite Alicia Vikander. In the film, Justin plays Antonio LeBlanc, a struggling tattoo artist trying to build a life for his pregnant wife and stepdaughter who ends up the target of deportation because his adoptive parents never finished the paperwork to grant him citizenship when he was adopted from Korea. We follow his journey as he fights to stay with his family in the only country he's ever known.

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC

NAATCO returns to The Public with their production of Shakespeare's trilogy, HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS, adapted and directed by Stephen Brown-Fried. Condensed into two parts and performed in rep, experience this saga of a nation spinning wildly out of control. Part 1: Foreign Wars kicks off with the funeral of King Henry V, leaving his infant son on the throne and sending the country into decades of spiraling chaos both abroad and at home. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later, as nascent domestic feuds rapidly metastasize into the full-blown civil war known as the War of the Roses.
