Staged Reading—"Reservoir Dogs"

PAY WHAT YOU WISH

In this unique staged reading, an all-APIA female cast will perform Quentin Tarantino’s classic crime drama, Reservoir Dogs.

As a response to the controversial practice of “whitewashing” in Hollywood, in which non-white roles are given to Caucasian actors, No Shortage of Asian Talent (NSAT) was formed to create an outlet for up-and-coming APIA actors and their audiences, and to show Hollywood that there is no shortage of APIA talent, as its practices might have the public believe. Last year, NSAT launched a staged reading series in which APIA actors perform in well-known roles that they normally wouldn’t be considered for. The series also allows emerging directors the opportunity to develop their craft and work with actors on a small scale.

This all-female APIA performance of Reservoir Dogs follows NSAT’s debut event, an all-male APIA reading of Glengarry Glen Ross. Please note Reservoir Dogs contains strong language.

Admission is “Pay What You Wish” this day. RSVPs are recommended using the link below.

Presented by No Shortage of Asian Talent (NSAT).
