The World Premiere

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

Conceived by Jamil Khoury

Directed by Steve Scott

Featuring Plays by Philip Kan Gotanda, Velina Hasu Houston, David Henry Hwang, Jamil Khoury, Shishir Kurup, Lina Patel, and Elizabeth Wong

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 for grabs in this perception-defying collection of short plays.
