East West Players (EWP), the largest producing organization of Asian American artistic work, has announced that it is postponing its upcoming production of Lavina Jadhwani's The Sitayana (Or “How to Make an Exit”), originally scheduled May 14-June 6th. The production, presented in partnership with San Francisco's EnActe Arts and New York City's Hypokrit Productions, will be rescheduled for this fall.

East West Players will launch its 55th anniversary season Between Worlds, an innovative and interdimensional experience that expands the scope of our storytelling to the digital stage.
East West Players is at 120 Judge John Aiso St., Los Angeles.
EWP was founded by nine Asian American artists (Mako, Rae Creevey, Beulah Quo, Soon-Tek Oh, James Hong, Pat Li, June Kim, Guy Lee, and Yet Lock) seeking to create roles beyond the stereotypical parts they were offered in mainstream Hollywood. In 1998, EWP Artistic Director Tim Dang led the company’s move from a 99-seat Equity Waiver “black box” theatre into a new 240-seat venue at an Actors Equity Association contract level. EWP’s main stage is the David Henry Hwang Theater, housed within the Union Center for the Arts in downtown Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo district. The theater serves more than 25,000 people each year, and has become a creative center in this historically significant setting. When Dang retired in 2016, his successor Snehal Desai was appointed to guide East West Players into a new wave of artistic leadership. Desai has committed to steering the work of East West Players with an intersectional focus that further unveils the diversity of Asian Pacific identities as portrayed on stage.
