East West Players Theatre for Youth Tour: When Yuri Met Malcolm
About the Event
Visiting performers East West Players present a short play that tells the story of Japanese American activist, and her unlikely friendship with Malcolm X. This play follows Kochiyama from her formative experience in the Japanese internment camps to her activism in the Civil Rights Movement.
Established in 1965, East West Players has since premiered more than 228 plays and musicals, as well as over 1,000 diverse readings and workshops for actors, writers, and directors. By building bridges between East and West, we have cultivated a loyal audience of over 70% people of color. Our company continues to build platforms for artists of color while advocating for multi-faceted representations of the Asian Pacific American experience in the performing arts.
