This book is a companion piece to the Asian American Writers' Workshop's "The NuyorAsian Anthology: Asian American Writings on New York City". "Tokens? The NYC Asian American Experience on Stage" presents a vibrant portrait of a burgeoning theater scene. Alvin Eng, "Tokens?"'s editor and contributor, describes the ten plays and performance pieces included in the collection as offering 'a great viceral snapshot of what Asian American theater was like in New York City in the 1990s'. Other playwrights whose work is found here include David Henry Hwang, Jessica Hagedorn, and Han Ong. This book concludes with 'The Verbal Mural', a discussion of the history, current directions, and future prospects for Asian American theater in New York City, gathered from interviews with founders, leading members, and rising stars of the Asian American theater. Through their powerful words and passionate voices, "Tokens?" chronicles the struggles of Asian American artists to find a place in the off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway theater world. Author note: Alvin Eng is currently a Teaching Artist with the 'Young Playwrights Program' of the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, NY. He is an author, performer, lyricist, and journalist of many celebrated theatrical works including "The Flushing Cycle", an autobiographical one-man play, and "Mao Zedong: Jealous Son" (an Abstract Portrait), an opera.
