By: Stephi Wild Feb. 11, 2018
The Parsnip Ship & The Actors Fund presented a reading of Daniel K. Isaac's first full length play, OR OR OR &&& at The Mark O'Donnell Theater at The Actors Fund Arts Center in Brooklyn mid-January.
The Parsnip Ship presents an intimate series of plays performed and recorded before live audiences the first Thursday of every month for a monthly podcast. The podcast of OR OR OR &&& and an interview with the Isaac is now available on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play Music. Scroll down for photos of the live recording.
Helmed by Carlos Armesto, the cast featured Jon Norman Schneider, Jiehae Park, Keelay Gipson, Julian Leong, Diana Oh, David Shih and Teal Wicks.
A genre-f-ing play about unapologetic storytelling, family both born and chosen, and the messiness of intersectional identities, Daniel & Esther & Dragon journey through autobiography, imagination, & maybe the Korean War.
Daniel K. Isaac was born and raised in sunny Southern California. When he was in fifth grade, his mother heard a mortifying story about a preacher who went numb with stage fright and had to be escorted off the stage. Isaac was promptly signed up for Grace Korean Church's theatre troupe and he's been an actor ever since. After receiving his Bachelor's in Theatre from the University of California - San Diego (UCSD), Isaac moved to not-always-sunny New York City where he's been seen on large and small screens and stages. Some Film/TV Credits include: "Foshay" on The Jim Gaffigan Show (TV LAND), MONEY MONSTER (dir. Jodie Foster, with George Clooney and Julia Roberts), "Virgil" on Person of Interest (CBS, recurring), The Following (FOX), Believe (NBC, pilot), TOO BIG TO FAIL (HBO) and "Ben Kim" on SHOWTIME's Billions (with Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis). Some upcoming projects include: Search Party (TBS), Crashing (HBO), Shades of Blue (NBC) and Drew (CBS, pilot). www.danielkisaac.com
