Set after World War II as Japanese Americans return to the West Coast, NO-NO BOY follows Ichiro Yamada, who struggles to reconnect with the Seattle community, after taking a bold stance on questions of allegiance.

The limited run of NO-NO BOY is running in tandem with the Day of Remembrance (DOR), a day commemorating the Japanese American internment during World War II. Events in numerous U.S. States are held on or near February 19, the day in 1942 that Executive Order 9066 was signed, requiring internment of all Americans of Japanese ancestry.

The creative team includes sets by Sheryl Liu, costumes by Hyun Sook Kim, lights by Leslie Smith, and sound by Ian Wehrle. The Production Stage Manager is Elis C.Arroyo with Sabrina Morabito.
