Question

True or false. Asian American theatre continues to thrive, as emerging playwrights Philip Kan Gotanda and Young Jean Lee are adding a more contemporary perspective to the already established works of David Henry Hwang and Tisa Chang.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the convening of theaters of color took place in September 2003 in White Oak, Florida, a need for a National Asian American Theatre Conference arose and the event held three years later in California. Asian American theatre and performance became prominent after the conference and their activities were brought to the forefront of the genre.

Young Jean Lee, a Korean American and Philip Kan Gotanda, an American, are both playwright and filmmakers have made remarkable contributions by adding a more contemporary perspective to the works of David Henry Hwang and Tisa Chang.
