And one last post about Yellow Face...

Pork Filled and ReAct has ended its run of David Henry Hwang's Yellow Face over the weekend. Over 1100 people saw the show (pretty good for a fringe level theatre), with sellouts or near sellouts the last weekend of the run (pretty good for a Labor Day weekend show).

We've gone through strike (where the production team moves all the props and costumes out, taken gels out of the lights [though we've left them in place for the next production], and taken down the sets, breaking them down into their component parts (platforms and stuff goes back to Seattle Scenic Design, which specializes in renting platforms to productions around the Puget Sound).

:
Actors have gone on to new projects, new shows (like Year Zero for Moses Yim). What's next for Pork Filled Players? There's an appearance at Seattle Sketchfest, October 8, at the Theatre Off Jackson (409 7th Ave. S., Seattle, WA) (which is, coincidentally, the first home for PFP, when we were just a babe, as the Artists in Residence for the Northwest Asian American Theatre, which pretty much built the Theatre Off Jackson)(and where the Head Hawg played a key role in raising the money to fund that building)(but we disgress.....). So buy tickets here (and see the sketch comedy side of the Pork Filled Players, along with the Entertainment Show and Slow Children Crossing, from LA).

In the meantime, here's one last bit about Yellow Face fromThe Seattle Channel, showing an interview with David Henry Hwang at Elliot Bay Books:
