This show was the first full production of Theatre Diaspora (Portland鈥檚 only AAPI theatre company) and was born of a desire to bridge divides in Oregon communities by creating art that would inspire community dialogues. The series of monologues sought to find a common thread of intersectionality of race with gender, sexual orientation and national origin to bring much needed empathy.
