Yankee Dawg You Die
By Philip Kan Gotanda
East West Players presents a timely revival of Philip Kan Gotanda's Yankee Dawg You Die. This groundbreaking play illustrates the complex, often fraught journey of Asian American actors in Hollywood.
Through the lens of an unlikely friendship between two artists, Vincent Chang and Bradley Yamashita, at different stages of their careers, Gotanda's masterful storytelling exposes the painful compromises actors make to succeed in the industry.
First performed in 1988, Yankee Dawg You Die has long been an indictment of the stereotypes and limitations imposed by the entertainment industry on actors of color. This play ignites crucial conversations about representation, identity, and the resilience of Asian American artists–how far we’ve come in the last 60 years and how much further there is to go.

Wives
By Jaclyn Backhaus
In an era where marginalized voices are shaping mainstream consciousness like never before, Wives by Jaclyn Backhaus offers an ardent exploration of the power and resilience at the heart of women's stories.
The laugh-out-loud comedy, featuring a South Asian and South Asian American cast, will have its Southern California premiere at EWP in March 2026. The play finds an immediate resonance after the recent national election, where the first South Asian American woman presidential candidate and the first South Asian American second lady found themselves in the spotlight of America’s two major political parties.
Wives takes the audience on a spellbinding journey from 16th-century France to 1920s India and 1960s Idaho, offering potent perspectives on the lives of history’s influential men through the eyes of their equally formidable spouses. This work challenges the construction of historical narratives, framing them not as a series of events dominated by men, but as a tapestry woven by many hands.

Flower Drum Song pulls back the curtain on themes of assimilation and tradition in 1950s San Francisco Chinatown as Mei-li, a young Chinese opera artist fleeing communism, arrives in America, where she is immediately drawn into the dazzling world of the Grant Avenue nightclubs.
Flower Drum Song - CLOSING PERFORMANCE
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Flower Drum Song
Music by RICHARD RODGERS
Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II
Book by DAVID HENRY HWANG
Based on the original book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joseph Fields
Based on the novel by C.Y. Lee
Directed by Lily Tung Crystal
The enchanting golden-era musical Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Flower Drum Song, directed by EWP Artistic Director Lily Tung Crystal, will serve as the grand finale for EWP’s Diamond Legacy season.
This captivating tale will receive a newly updated book by the Tony Award-winning playwright, librettist, screenwriter, and EWP theater namesake David Henry Hwang. At a time when conversations about identity and cultural preservation are more important than ever, Hwang’s reworking of the book for the Spring 2026 production allows Asian Americans to reclaim this cherished story in a meaningful way, illuminating the complexities and richness of the community’s continuous evolution.
Flower Drum Song pulls back the curtain on themes of assimilation and tradition in 1950s San Francisco Chinatown as Mei-li, a young Chinese opera artist fleeing communism, arrives in America, where she is immediately drawn into the dazzling world of the Grant Avenue nightclubs.

Join us for a pre-show panel.
Join us at 4pm in the theater courtyard for a special Pre-Show Panel Discussion, “The Cambodian American Experience: Pathways to Healing and Joy.” Much of the Cambodian experience has been impacted by genocide and immense loss. Join this panel discussion that asks if joy is possible, and if so, what the pathways are towards healing.
Before the show on March 2nd, we're hosting an inspiring panel discussion led by distinguished members of the Khmer community. Moderated by EWP teaching artist Giovanni Ortega, this panel features three remarkable speakers:
