The National Asian American Theatre Company (NAATCO) presents the world premiere of LEAH'S TRAIN, Karen Hartman's play about three generations of women from a Jewish family whose lineage spreads from Russia to present-day San Francisco, previewing February 6th prior to opening February 10th Off-Broadway at the TBG Theatre (312 West 36th Street) in Manhattan.

Directed by Jean Randich, the cast of LEAH'S TRAIN will be performed by an all Asian-American cast including Jennifer Ikeda (TOP GIRLS on Broadway and WOMEN BEWARE WOMEN Off-Broadway), Raphael Aranas, Louis Ozawa Changchien ("Robot Stories"), Kristine Haruna Lee, and Mia Katigbak (DOGEATERS at the Public, LIGHT RAISE THE ROOF at New York Theatre Workshop).

In LEAH'S TRAIN, three generations of love and anger are ignited when a young doctor refuses to attend her grandmother's funeral and what transpires after she boards a train, and its destination mysteriously becomes her Russian Jewish family's untold history.

Performances of LEAH'S TRAIN run February 6-28 at TBG Theatre (312 West 36th Street, 3rd floor); Mondays-Fridays at 7:00pm; Saturdays at 3:00pm and 8:00pm. Tickets are $15 during previews, $20 beginning February 10. For reservations, contact SmartTix at SmartTix.com or 212-868-4444.
