Out of the Box Theatrics just celebrated opening night of Michael John LaChiusa ’s See What I Wanna See, directed by Emilio Ramos , with musical direction by Adam Rothenberg . Check out photos from inside the big night!
Based on three short stories by Japanese author Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (Rashomon), OOTB’s production of See What I Wanna See features an all-AAPI cast of actors and elements inspired by traditional Asian theater practices, bringing LaChiusa’s Americanized adaptation into conversation with the Asian-American experience.
The production stars Marina Kondo as Kesa/The Wife/An Actress, Kelvin Moon Loh as The Husband/A CPA, Zachary Noah Piser as The Janitor/A Priest, Ann Sanders as The Medium/Aunt Monica, and Sam Simahk as Morito/The Thief/A Reporter. Aaron J. Albano and Bebe Browning will serve as covers.
