Alumni Qui Nguyen’s new play “Vietgone” has just been added to the 2016/17 season at Manhattan Theater Club in NYC, a prestigious Off Broadway theater.  Qui has made a name for himself in NYC with geeky, fun plays like “She Kills Monsters” and “Alice in Slasherland”

Variety describes the play, “Nguyen’s play “Vietgone” remixes pop culture and his parents’ real-life backstory to chronicle a romance between Vietnamese refugees in a Middle American relocation camp. The play recently finished up a run at South Coast Repertory directed by May Adrales, who’ll also helm the MTC staging.”  Read full article here

Congrats Qui on this awesome achievement!

 

INFO

“Vietgone” begins previews Oct. 4, 2016 ahead of an Oct. 25 opening at the larger of MTC’s two Off Broadway spaces, City Center Stage I.
