Back by popular demand!
Pork Filled Productions and SIS Productions (in association with Theatre Off Jackson) bring back Instant Noodles, the 24-hour play festival, to Theatre Off Jackson (409 7th Ave. S., in Seattle’s International District) February 21 at 7:30 pm and February 22 at 2 pm!
Over 50 Asian and Asian American theatre writers, actors, directors, musicians, and designers will unite to make magic! Everyone will meet Friday night and 24 hours later, seven new 10-minute plays will take the spotlight! Hence, “Instant Noodles!” There is no other place in the Northwest to experience this much Asian talent under one roof! The plays will be performed twice! Once on Saturday night and once on Sunday afternoon. Then it’s over!
“Instant Noodles is so inspiring!” says SIS Co-Executive Producer Kathy Hsieh. “Where else can people experience the artistry of 50 ethnically diverse Asian and Asian American theatre artists under one roof sharing brand new short plays?! Instant Noodles is a joyous celebration of Asian and Asian American talent that played to sold-out crowds last year, so get your tickets early! And what better way to honor the Lunar New Year?”
“I am so excited to announce the second annual Instant Noodles Festival!” says PFP producer Kendall Uyeji. “After completely sold out shows last year, PFP is returning to partner with SIS to create a show with more Asians that you have ever seen on stage at once! We are excited to have Yun Theatre and Pratidhwani be a part of our invite team to make sure all aspects of the Asian diaspora are represented. It’s going to be so much fun!”
“Instant Noodles allows PFP and SIS” says PFP Executive Producer Roger Tang, “to work with more Asian and Asian American artists than we can in our mainstage show…AND it allows the artists to work with each other. Some of them have never worked on a show where they WEREN’T the only Asian in the room.”
Instant Noodles is rated PG-14 for potential profanity, wild and crazy antics and Asians unleashed on stage. Tickets start at $7 (thanks to support from 4Culture) and go to $25 and $50.
