Yellow Fever by Rick Shiomi

Set in 1970s Vancouver, BC, hard-boiled detective Sam Shikaze investigates the mysterious disappearance of the Cherry Blossom Queen. With a knack for finding trouble, Sam gets entangled in politics, romance, racism, and the painful memories of Japanese-Canadian incarceration camps.

Under the direction of Jennifer Jasper, PFP presents a fresh new look at this classic Asian Canadian play with the twist of switching the main male roles to female protagonists, exploring the question of how gender plays into the standard expectations of the Noir genre.

Auditions for The Tumbleweed Zephyr

Pork Filled Productions is pleased to announce our Summer 2015 show, The Tumbleweed Zephyr. We are auditioning all ethnicities for the show, which is directed by Amy Poisson (These Streets, The Clockwork Professor, Fast Company) and written by Maggie Lee.

This Old West scf-fi adventure returns to the thrilling, steampunk-inspired universe of our 2013 production The Clockwork Professor. Two brothers, Atticus and Kai, climb aboard the Tumbleweed Zephyr, a transcontinental train headed out of New Providence for the wilds of the Western Territories. But what starts as a simple journey by rail soon takes an unexpected turn, with airship bandit raids, twists of fate, wayward sparks of romance, and the lonely call of a train whistle echoing across the clear desert sky. So grab your satchel and dust off your best traveling hat for this epic new summer adventure!.

The Tumbleweed Zephyr will be performed at the new 12th Avenue Arts on their mainstage, August 12 to 29.
