The DNA Trail
A Genealogy of Short Plays about Ancestry, Identity, and
Utter Confusion

Starring: Jennifer Shin, Cora Vander Broek, Melissa Kong, Fawzia Mirza,
Khurram Mozaffer, Anthony Peeples, and Clayton Stamper

Theatre meets science when a diverse group of playwrights each agree to take a genealogical DNA test and revisit their assumptions about identity politics and the perennial "who am I" question. Self, family, community, and ethnicity are all up for grabs.

The DNA trail is comprised of seven unique, identity-defying short plays:

• Finding Your Inner Zulu by Elizabeth Wong
  
• Mother Road by Velina Hasu Houson
• That Could Be You by Lina Patel
• WASP: White Arab Slovak Pole by Jamil Khoury
• Bolt from the Blue by Shishir Kurup
• A Very DNA Reunion by David Henry Hwang
• Child Is Father to Man by Phillip Kan Gotanda
