Director’s Note:

For artists, especially those of color, there’s an expectation that our identity is tied to the art that we create. That responsibility weighs on me heavily, and I occasionally wonder what the trajectory of my career would look like if I also didn’t feel that obligation to speak to a higher purpose, instead of just what fulfilled me personally. That’s where Qui Nguyen, the playwright, found himself when he wrote this story – caught between being held up by his community as a talented writer who can spotlight Vietnamese culture, and his actual passions of superheroes, fantasy, and other geek-related media. Agent G is, in essence, Qui’s attempt to harmonize those two aspects of his identity within himself – and to the world.

David Le is a director based in Seattle and Los Angeles. He graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Theater, much to his parents’ dismay. Cultural identity, family, and the sense of longing are often focal points in his work. He finds nothing more enjoyable than telling stories that speak to the current moment in some way – that challenge people’s beliefs about who they are as a person, but also celebrate the culture and ideas that they are the culmination of. He has previously worked with Yun Theatre, Playground-LA, REBATEnsemble, UW Undergraduate Theatre Society, and Pork Filled Productions – the latter of which he is currently a producer for. He is currently co-directing the West Coast premiere of June is the First Fall – see it next month!
