Over the weekend I had a moment to meet Jude Narita, who is presenting a one-woman play, From the Heart, which celebrates the lives, and brings to life the dreams, of different Asian and Asian American women. The show runs over the next two weekends in Santa Monica, and performing before the play each night will be a different L.A. artist showcasing their work. Here are all the details:
Rise up from your left-over turkey sandwiches and come on down to see...If you're in the Los Angeles area, and looking to shake off that post-turkey daze with some Asian American empowerment theater, check out Jude's show. For more information about Jude Narita, visit her website here. To purchase some tickets, and learn more about the show, go to Brown Paper Tickets here.
