Tony-winning playwright David Henry Hwang’s comedy from Roundabout Theatre Company stars Daniel Dae Kim (“Lost,” “Hawaii Five-0”) as an Asian American playwright who protests yellowface casting in the blockbuster musical “Miss Saigon,” only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play.The repercussions resonate in this farce about the complexities of race. Filmed in November 2024 and directed by Leigh Silverman (“Violet,” “Suffs”),“Yellow Face” is an “is-he-or-isn’t-he” comedy of identity, show business and autobiography. The recording of this performance is provided courtesy of The WNET Group. This is the seventh film screening presented by the Center on Asian Americans and the Law. The film will be followed by a panel discussion and reception.
