A call for further representation of artists of color, “finally” aims to explore the ideas of identity, acceptance, and belonging through a collection of short plays and monologues written by AAPI-playwrights and performed by an all Asian cast. Each piece in this socially-distanced performance not only tells a story, but brings to life the struggles of feeling different, alone, and the pressure of leaving behind a legacy.
