Public New Play Reading

New Play Reading: No-No Boy

Thursday, May 8 at 7:30 p.m.

Poncho Forum

Join Seattle Rep for a public new play reading of No-No Boy, adapted by Frank Abe from the classic 1957 novel by John Okada.

No-No Boy tells the story of Ichiro Yamada as he returns to Seattle after two years in a Japanese American incarceration camp and two years in prison for refusing conscription into the U.S. Army during World War II. Ichiro searches for answers and a sense of justice in the face of hostility from his family and community.
