Manhattan Theatre Club continues its 2019-2020 off-Broadway season with the New York Premiere of Poor Yella Rednecks, written by Qui Nguyen and directed by May Adrales.
Performances are staged at New York City Center's Stage I.
From the author of Vietgone comes the second play of his autobiographical trilogy about an immigrant family’s bumpy road to the American dream. Told from the mother’s perspective, Poor Yella Rednecks is the story of a young family’s attempt to put down roots in Arkansas, a place as different from Vietnam as it gets. Filled with infectious music and unexpected humor, Poor Yella Rednecks is the next chapter in this highly entertaining and moving tale.
Manhattan Theatre Club has now announced complete casting for the upcoming New York premiere of Poor Yella Rednecks, written by Qui Nguyen and directed by May Adrales. The cast will include Tim Chiou (as Quang/Danny), Samantha Quan (as Huong/San/Clarence/Cop), Maureen Sebastian (as Tong), Paco Tolson (as Playwright/Immigration Officer/Translator/Paul/Bobby), and Eugene Young (as Nhan/Little Man/Cowboy/Harry).
