East West Players Theater for Youth presents "Patsy," an original play by Alison Minami about the first Asian-American Congresswoman, Patsy Mink. This program is intended for teen audiences.

Synopsis: Kailani, an 18-year-old senior at Maui High School and star athlete, waits anxiously to find out if she's been accepted into her dream school when all of a sudden Patsy Mink, the first Asian American congresswoman and former valedictorian of Maui High school, appears before her. As Patsy Mink walks Kailani through the many trials and tribulations she faced throughout her political career and life, Kailani begins to realize that no matter how many setbacks she encounters during her journey, she can succeed as long as she picks herself back up and perseveres.

The East West Players’ Theatre for Youth touring production offers new ways to see the world through theatre that stimulate students to discover the prominent role Asian Pacific Americans have played in our history. Created in the early 1970s, Theatre for Youth was designed to promote cultural understanding and racial tolerance among youth. Today, the program strives to expand the history and curriculum to include stories about pioneering and groundbreaking Americans.

This program is supported in part by The Dwight Stuart Youth Fund, The Green Foundation, LL Foundation for Youth, Department of Cultural Affairs - City of Los Angeles, Kaplan-Loring Foundation, and the California Arts Council.
