Playwright Lauren Yee (Cambodian Rock Band) is rehearsing her newest show about her father (which she has not told him about), when he joyfully bursts through the doors and interrupts the actors. After he later goes missing, the younger Yee must embark on a quest through San Francisco's famous Chinatown, beyond the iconic Dragon's Gate, through a bustling maze of alleys and magical portals, to find him before it's too late.

Monumental Travesties

Mosaic Theater Company at Atlas Performing Arts Center

Abraham Lincoln's head is missing. Chance, a Black performance artist, has surreptitiously removed it from the Emancipation Memorial-a Capitol Hill statue of Lincoln standing over a formerly enslaved man-and now it's in his white liberal neighbor Adam's shrubbery. This act of protest unleashes an absurdist chain of events when Adam knocks on Chance's door, leading the two men and Chance's wife, Brenda, down a path that questions how the symbols of our past impact our present. With sharp humor, hijinks, and a palpable love for DC, Helen Hayes Award-winning playwright Psalmayene 24's searing new comedy explores race, memory, and the often privileged act of forgetting.
