Second Stage Theatre presents Somebody's Daughter
Christopher Burney (Associate Artistic Director and Curator of Second Stage Theatre Uptown) released the following statement:
"Since its inception 14 years ago, it has been Second Stage Theatre Uptown's mission to bring new works to the stage that speak to today's audience and provoke the minds of every generation. I am thrilled that we will bring the world premiere of Somebody's Daughter to our audiences next season. Chisa Hutchinson, our Tow Foundation Playwright-in-Residence, exemplifies the kind of bold and truthful artistry Second Stage champions."
Synopsis: "Alex is a fifteen year old Asian-American girl going to extremes to get her own mother to notice her. She's a dream child - except to her parents who wish she was a boy. Luckily she finds a sympathetic ear in Kate, her irreverent guidance counselor who knows all too well what it's like to walk in Alex's shoes. As three generations of women find their identity in question, each needs to decide who makes the rules and what happens when you break them."
Exact dates, casting and creative team information for Somebody's Daughter will be announced at a later date.
