Celebrating Asian-American theater artists, and forging ahead in the face of COVID-19 to promote inclusive Chicago theatre, Token Theatre is offering a glimpse into an original play, featuring Telly Leung of Broadway's RENT and GODSPELL, and TV's GLEE. Premiering live scenes from ZAC EFRON -- a new work written by Token Artistic Director David Rhee, co-written by Wai Yim, and directed by Helen Young -- Telly and local Token artists will host a live discussion with viewers about the play, Token's future plans, and the trials of producing art during the pandemic. While there is no charge for admission to Token's live inaugural event on YouTube, viewers are encouraged to "pay what you can" to support the company's work.
Token Theatre presents an evening of performance and conversation:
