Additional details about the two plays are provided below: PANG SPA Daniel Pang returns home to LA’s Koreatown stepping into an unexpected life. Twenty years after the LA Riots, the family business is gone, his brother is gone, and his parents are disappearing with dementia. As Daniel juggles his parents’ care and idiosyncratic neighbors a flinty young army vet arrives on a mission forcing him to confront his past. PANG SPA is a Los Angeles, K-town dramedy celebrating family, memory and identity through a journey of healing. TWO STOP On the verge of the ’92 LA Riots. A Korean market. A murder scene. A store owner and a neighborhood teenaged girl face off. When her wild card mother arrives, secrets from the past explode in this tiny store. History and histories go head to head as LA starts to burn. |
