WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY SUN MEE CHOMET
DIRECTION AND DRAMATURGY BY ZARAAWAR MISTRY
Back by popular demand after its sold-out January 2024 run.
How to Be a Korean Woman is a hilarious, heartfelt, and personal telling of Korean-American adoptee Sun Mee Chomet‘s search for her birth family in Seoul, South Korea. This poignant one-woman show — told from the perspective of an adult Jewish adoptee — uses text, music, and movement to explore themes of family, love, adulthood, and the universal longing to know one’s past.
