Ma-Yi Theater Company will launch its 2019-2020, the company's 30th, with the world premiere of Felix Starro, marking the first time ever a musical created by Filipino Americans will be presented Off-Broadway
Felix Starro, the story of a young, undocumented immigrant in San Francisco and his famous faith healer grandfather. The new musical, based on a short story by Filipino-American writer Lysley Tenorio, features a book and lyrics by novelist and playwright Jessica Hagedorn (Dogeaters) and music by Fabian Obispo.
Felix Starro will run August 23–September 15 at Theatre Row with an opening night set for September 3.
“Ma-Yi’s focus remains on creating opportunities for Asian American theatre artists to work both in New York and across the country. Ma-Yi believes that it’s not enough to keep plays in endless development cycles to satisfy diversity goals. They must be produced. “
