LIGHTS RISE ON GRACE
BY CHAD BECKIM
DIR. BY MICHAEL JOHN GARCÉS
Lights rise on Grace, the daughter of Chinese immigrants and Large, the young black man she loves.
Lights rise on Riece, the sole bright spot in Large’s dark new world as a prison inmate. Lights rise on an unlikely family, bound by forgiveness but threatened by Large’s new desire.
From flirtatious language lessons to hurtful
slurs, how does Grace’s story reflect Asian-American
experiences navigating interracial relationships,
second-generation identity, and enduring stereotypes?
Join a panel of arts and cultural leaders as we tackle these
questions, and explore the representation of Asian-American identity on stage, on screen, and in society.
Moderated by Angie Chuang, Author and educator at American University
Featuring:
Natsu Onoda Power, Director, Designer, and Theatre professor at Georgetown University
Christian Oh, Executive Director of Asian Pacific American Film - APA Film
Kat Chow, Journalist with NPR’s Code Switch blog
