Preview of “Yohen” -To order tickets with the discount code “JACL” visit: PassinArt.org
(Performances March 29 through April 21)PassinArt: A Theatre Company presents “Yohen,” a two-person play by veteran playwright Philip Kan Gotanda. “Yohen” is an intimate story of the marriage and life of an interracial couple in their 60s. Set in 1987, the husband is a Black retired serviceman and the wife is a Japanese military wife. The couple has come to a crossroads in their 30-year marriage. Filled with laughter and dramatic memories, the couple work to find a pathway back to their love. Gotanda says the inspiration for writing the play “comes from the idea that yohen pertains to coloring, and appropriate to this American play where we live in a highly racialized world. And where the tradition is to focus on color.” JACL members can receive a 20 percent discount to see the play. The playwright will be in Portland April 5th for the 730pm show and will be part of a post-show
discussion after the play.Previews—March 27 & 28 at 7:30pm
