Interview: Mai Le And Alexandra Szeto-Joe of THE HEART SELLERS at STAGES
by Armando Urdiales - Feb 10, 2025

In The Heart Sellers, playwright Lloyd Suh crafts a poignant and deeply human story of friendship, identity, and belonging. Set on Thanksgiving in the 1970s, the play follows Luna and Jane—two immigrant women, one from the Philippines and the other from Hong Kong—who form an unexpected bond as they navigate life in a country that often makes them feel like outsiders.

Review: VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at 4th Wall Theatre Company
by Brett Cullum - Nov 29, 2024

I feel like this company, at this point in time, is simply happy to be here doing this show, and I can say the feeling is infectious. It’s not your typical holiday offering, but you can never be wrong with the wit of Christopher Durang and the magic of invoking the spirit of Maggie Smith. I’m thankful this season for companies like 4th WALL, which produce plays that offer the joy of what theater is all about.
