McKnight Theater Artists present Works in Progress
The 2013-14 Playwrights' Center McKnight Theater Artist Fellows Sun Mee Chomet, Denise Prosek and Stephen Yaokam, along with their collaborators, will present selections from works in progress at The Southern Theater. Sun Mee Chomet is collaborating with nationally-acclaimed performance artist Brenda Wong Aoki and local musician Susan Tanabe on a reimagining of Aoki's The Queen's Garden. Denise Prosek, much-lauded as a music director, is now writing a musical of her own. She is working with actors Joshua James Campbell, James Detmar and Max Wojtanowicz on a musical about the restaurant industry called Fire It Up. Stephen Yoakam is partnering with dancer/choreographer Uri Sands and his company TU Dance. Sands has received numerous awards for his work, including the inaugural 2005 Princess Grace Award in Choreography.
