Yankee Dawg You Die - The Elite Theatre Company

The Elite Theatre Company is proud to announce the upcoming production of Yankee Dawg You Die, a drama by Philip Kan Gotanda, directed by Jolyn Johnson, at Ventura County's Elite Theatre Company, September 8 – October 1, 2023. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8pm, with Sunday matinees at 2pm. There will be a special Thursday night performance on September 28.

Long before "Crazy Rich Asians" or "Everything Everywhere All At Once," Philip Kan Gotanda explored being Asian in Hollywood in "Yankee Dawg You Die." In this play, two Asian-American men struggle to find a space in Hollywood in the 1980s: Bradley Yamashita is brash, outspoken, and opinionated; Vincent Chang is a survivor of Old Hollywood stereotypes, trying to remain regal and honorable. Bradley and Vincent's unlikely friendship--as they talk of life, love, and Tinseltown--shows that generational divides might not be as wide as we think.
