The year’s not over yet! Pork Filled Productions’ got one more staged reading of a brand new play to do before we call 2015 a done deal. Join us for ONLINE DATING TALES OF OLD JAPAN by Kirk Shimano on Thursday, December 3 at 6pm at Wing Luke Museum.

Online Dating Tales of Old Japan combines traditional Japanese folk tales with modern dating anxiety. As Akira tells us the fairytales he learned as a child, we see them blending with his own experiences of finding love, losing love, and being stuck in the limbo between finding and losing love. Akira’s journey takes him through ten folk tales and eighty years of Japanese-American history as he attempts to make sense of the life that he wants to lead.

Playwright Kirk Shimano will be there too! Stick around for a post-play discussion following the reading.

Directed by Brad Walker. Featuring actors: Rachel Rene Araucto, Matt De La Cruz, Emily Feliciano, Denny Le, J Lee, Gavin McLean,  and Tim Takechi.
