"By its very nature, theatre is a vehicle for healing and processing our life experiences. It allows audiences to take on varied perspectives and provides a space for critical judgment, self-reflection, and the practice of empathy.

“Currently in rehearsals, Coronel has been working one-on-one with the actors. “We’ve been spending a lot of time researching, discussing, and integrating socio-political events like the Hart Cellar Act and women’s rights, in addition to how women from Korea and the Philippines during the 1970s would think, act, speak, and behave.”

Luna and Song face an uphill battle as immigrants with no direct comparison to today’s difficulties. These strong, resilient women have few city resources. It’s wondrous that they now have each other.“ -Kitty Drexel

“Wong trained with dialect coach Joy Lanceta Coronel—a step Yee advises fellow creatives embrace: ‘Actors don’t come with their own perfect set of accents, nor should we expect that of him. Giving actors the tools to succeed and being specific and accurate of what your needs are helps an actor feel empowered to play the role.’”
