DESCRIPTION:Tony Award® winner David Henry Hwang (Yellow Face\, M. Butterf
 ly) joins CPD and Center Theatre Group to discuss the inspiration behind h
 is upcoming World premiere of Soft Power\, which begins at the Ahmanson Th
 eatre May 3\, 2018. Inspired by the West’s often ridiculously inauthenti
 c portrayals of Asia\, this contemporary comedy explodes into a futuristic
  Chinese musical. Soft Power tells the story of a sensible foreigner who h
 elps a good-hearted but backward leader to understand\, and eventually\, t
 o accept—that the old ways are dying\, and a new future has arrived.\n\n
 Discover how Hwang collaborated with Tony Award-winning composer Jeanine T
 esori (Fun Home) to translate China’s interests in achieving soft power 
 into a new piece of theatre for Los Angeles audiences.\n\nCo-sponsored by 
 Center Theatre Group.
LOCATION:USC Wallis Annberg Hall\, Forum
