TheatreWorks Silicon Valley presents the engaging new play The Heart Sellers by 2023 Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh (The Chinese Lady, The Far Country). This humorous and heartwarming work takes its title from the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, which paved the way for thousands to become U.S. citizens. Set in 1973, The Heart Sellers centers on two Asian women navigating their first American Thanksgiving. Starting out as strangers who meet in the grocery store, Luna from the Philippines and Jane from South Korea find common ground in their shared experience, including their often-absent medical resident husbands, missing families and friends back home, and discovering the joys and challenges of life in America. As the women attempt to cook Thanksgiving dinner, they dream of discotheques, Disneyland, and the future in a timely celebration of the human spirit. The New York Times called The Heart Sellers “beautiful” and “politically astute.” San Francisco Chronicle called the play “a fitting tribute. Mines glistening jewels of humanity." Acclaimed director/actor/playwright Jennifer Chang directs. Nicole Javier plays Luna and Narea Kang plays Jane in the TheatreWorks run of this play.
Mountain View Center for Performing Arts is at 500 Castro Street, Mountain View, CA.
