The Heart Sellers, a touching comedy by Lloyd Suh, unfolds the story of two immigrant women—one Filipino and one Korean—who meet in a supermarket on Thanksgiving in 1973. As they navigate their experiences in America, Luna invites Jane to her apartment to bond over shared challenges, cooking, and their families left behind. Directed by Jennifer Chang, this award-winning play highlights the impact of the Hart-Cellar Act on their blossoming friendship. The production runs at South Coast Repertory from October 26 to November 16, 2025.
News About The Heart Sellers at South Coast Repertory
Review: South Coast Repertory Presents THE HEART SELLERS
An intermission-less, two-character, conversational-centric play that focuses on a pair of women's specific immigrant experiences—marked with loneliness, hopes, fears, and puzzlements big and small—Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh's absorbing, touching, and occasionally (thankfully) very funny play explores the emotional tug-of-war between comfortable, familiar cultural traditions left behind and the need to accept, learn, and assimilate to the often confounding realities of their new home environment—a sometimes exciting, but sometimes heartbreaking concept that many first-generation immigrants know all too well. Continues at South Coast Repertory through November 16, 2025.
