This page contains links to interviews with Asian American theater artists and/or feature stories about them. As a theater journalist, I've had the opportunity to talk with many prominent and up-and-coming artists. Many times, they've had so many great things to say that I simply was unable to work into the published stories. So, I thought I would create this section on my Asian American Performance Site to allow for expanded versions of these interviews.
