Throes of Pathos

So some of you know that for the last few months, I’ve been working on a full length play. Well it all comes down to this moment for me. Tomorrow (Tuesday), on December 12, at 7:30pm, there will be a reading of my play at East West Players. This is a staged reading, meaning that I’m working with a director (Scott Horstein from Cornerstone Theater) and a full cast of actors who will be reading from the script. We got an awesome cast!

Leslie Ishii will be playing Mother, James Chung will be playing The Beast, Clara Juhn will be playing Maylene, Antonia Glen (Wellesley Alum!) will be playing Dolores… (full cast below)

The purpose of this reading is for me to get a better idea of what needs to be rewritten. Afterwards, I will go through another cycle of rewrites until I’m happy with the end results (and hopefully it will get produced!). I hope that you can make it to the reading. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your awesome support!

THROES OF PATHOS
by Jin Yoo-Kim
In a hopeless and bleak post-apocalyptic Los Angeles,
Dolores finds herself drowning in a sea of orderly and
sedated lives who have lost the power to feel. In her
journey to find a missing friend, Dolores is led to a
secret world where it is revealed that she is the one
who carries the burden of freeing the people from
captivity.  It is she who must make the decision that
will change the destiny of those who deserve the
chance to hope for better days.
