This convening of company members from The Cherry Orchard and others reflects on Korean and Korean American diasporas that have shaped the evolution of Asian American theater and performance. The conversation considers how Korean artists are influencing U.S. culture from the global reach of K-pop and K-drama to the vitality of the contemporary stage while carrying forward deep artistic traditions. This New York Emmy-nominated series uplifts stories across the Asian American and Pacific Islander community and celebrates the growing impact of Asian diasporic artists on American culture.

The Cherry Orchard
Award-winning director and dramatist Simon Stone returns to the Armory with his radical adaptation of Chekhov’s final play about a family in crisis. Reimagined in modern-day South Korea and brought to life in a transparent glass house by an all-Korean cast, this tragicomedy offers audiences a voyeuristic view into the characters’ private lives as they navigate change and domestic conflict.
