This Is Not a True Story

Playwright: Preston Choi
Director: Gabby Chavez | Assistant Director: Alex Kennedy
Executive Producer: Katherine Tran | Associate Producer: Sabrina Liu

In this new play, CioCio from Puccini’s opera Madame Butterfly completes her suicide, only to wake up realizing she is trapped in a never-ending loop of her story. Then Miss Saigon’s Kim joins the void, thrusting another tragic heroine into the deadly cycle, until a mysterious office woman throws their worlds out of balance. This Is Not a True Story unravels the history of Orientalist art and theatre, and looks at what happens when the tragic Asian heroine takes control of her own story.
