In keeping with its mission to provide more opportunities to both Asian playwrights and performers, National Asian Artists Project is pleased to present a staged reading of Jonathan and Kimbirdlee Fadner’s “The Monkey King: a Modern Musical.” This exciting piece offers a playful twist on the ancient Chinese folktale by reimagining the title character as a woman and follows her in her journey to save her beloved Monkey Tribe. The reading is directed by NAAP co-founder Steven Eng and features an ensemble cast of 10 performers.
