Join SIS Productions at Represent! A Multicultural Playwrights Festival at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute with this workshop reading of Sara Porkalob’s new script.

Two women, the same name, and a love story that is re-written every day.

Sara Porkalob is an artist activist and award winning solo-performer. She served as Intiman Theatre’s 2017 Co-Curator and is the current Programs Director of their Emerging Artist Program. She was one of the first recipients of a Village Theatre Original Writers Residency. Dragon Lady, her first full length work, has garnered a Seattle Times Foot-light Award and Broadway World Award for “Best New Play”. In spring of 2019, American Repertory Theatre will produce Dragon Lady and Dragon Mama, the first two solo-shows in her family trilogy THE DRAGON CYCLE . Her new play 7th and Jackson–a coming-of-age tale about three young women set in 1940’s-1980’s Seattle’s International District and accompanied by live music–will be produced by Nordo’s Culinarium in the summer . www.saraporkalob.com
