Youlim Nam Directs Return Of JUST A YELLOW CAB IN NEW YORK CITY At NuWorks Festival 2025

After a sold-out run at the Chain Theatre Festival earlier this year, Just a Yellow Cab in New York City returns to the stage-this time under the direction of playwright and producer Youlim Nam-as part of Pan Asian Repertory Theatre's NuWorks Festival 2025. The production will be performed at Theatre Row on Wednesday, June 18 at 7 PM and Sunday, June 22 at 3 PM.

Set in the backseat of a yellow cab, Regina, a tipsy Brooklyn transplant on the cusp of 30, dumps her birthday monologue to a cabby. What starts as a night of disappointment transforms into an unexpected moment of understanding between two strangers.
