A Staged Reading of:

PAINTING BY NUMBERS

by Leslie Ishii and Karen Samski
Directed by Michelle Spears

What chance does the heart and mind have in the struggle between old conventions and inevitable change?  You either break free or break down.  What will it be for Kit Yamamoto?  In Painting by Numbers, we take an Austen-esque turn around the room with the Yamamoto's, a 21st-century Japanese American family.  The public face is the modern model minority.  But behind closed doors the stereotype of two generations is broken.  And it’s not what you think...
