Rosa Loses Her Face
by Kitty Chen
The sometimes antagonistic mother/daughter relationship has never been funnier.
In this heartwarming, wildly entertaining play, unmarried New Yorker, Amy Loo, visits her mother in LA after a long absence.

Sweet Karma
by Henry Ong
SWEET KARMA is a powerful and haunting new play about a complex, and completely unique man who lived an extraordinary life.
After surviving the turbulent years following the Vietnam war, a Cambodian doctor is gunned down outside his Los Angeles apartment. In death, he meets a mysterious woman who helps him confront choices he made in life, and find peace of mind. SWEET KARMA is a powerful and haunting new play about a complex, and completely unique man who lived an extraordinary life - from a tragic past in a Cambodia ruled by the Khmer Rouge, to the glitter of Hollywood.
