HB Playwrights Theatre Performs a Scene From NEW YEAR'S DAY (SAE HAE) by Youlim Nam

New Year's Day (Sae Hae), a full-length play written by Youlim Nam, is set to showcase a reprisal of one of its scenes at the HB Playwrights Theatre as part of The Independent Study Project Lab on August 20th, 2023 at 3 pm.

Nam has been extended an invitation to this presentation as a guest by Snezhana Chernova, the lab's instructor. Chernova discovered Nam's play during a staged reading on July 31st, 2023, at El Barrio's Artspace PS109.

The play's narrative revolves around Hannah, a Korean-American high school girl who must decide between attending NYU Stern School of Business or moving across the world to Seoul to become a K-pop star.

Starring Brian Yeun and Joonie Jang, with direction by Youlim Nam, the showcase will not only feature a scene from "NEW YEAR'S DAY (SAE HAE)" but will also present Nam's other creative projects: the short film 'THE AUDITION' and the short story 'THE CRYING ROOM'.
