Today we celebrate Korean-American playwright Young Jean Lee. Lee’s work frequently addresses issues of race, gender and the American experience.

From Wikipedia:

Young Jean Lee is a Korean-American playwright, director, and filmmaker. She is the Artistic Director of Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company, a not-for-profit theater company dedicated to producing her work. She has written and directed ten shows for Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company and toured her work to over thirty cities around the world. Lee was called “the most adventurous downtown playwright of her generation” by Charles Isherwood in The New York Times and “one of the best experimental playwrights in America” by David Cote in Time Out New York.
