UPDATED NOV 4, 2022
Some things to know about this draft (from the playwright, director, and producer):
We are excited about the opportunity for us as creators of many different backgrounds to come together to focus on a specific culture and race. We are aware of the importance of not conflating all Asian races/nationalities to a single narrative or whitewashing this story and is something that we will be focused on in the casting and the process of creating this show. We also hope to partner with organizations and clubs in the school that focus on Japanese and Pan-Asian culture so that our creative process can be informed by them as well.
UPDATED NOV 4, 2022
Some things to know about this draft (from the playwright, director, and producer):
- There may still be some revisions to this script. None of them should affect design/tech or casting - there will not be new locations or characters. These revisions are mainly to add more conflict and rising action in the middle of the play.
- We are happy to have actors of any gender play parts and to change pronouns accordingly, though would prefer the role of TWO-OH-SIX and KAORI to both be of the same gender. TROUBLE uses they/them pronouns, but open to changing this depending on casting.
- Depending on casting some names of characters may be revised to reflect the race/nationality of the actor. Revision during the process is often a part of commissioning an original work.

We are excited to announce our 2022-2023 season!
