Accountability

Description

In this segment, playwright Rick Shiomi discusses the founding of Asian American theatre company Theatre Mu.  

While the company would become highly influential on the theatre scene in Massachusetts, he speaks to how its founders could not have predicted its impact. For them, Theatre Mu was created by the simple “desire to do something” about the lack of representation of Asian Americans in theatre.
