For the first time, a professional equity theatre in America is producing a play written by an Asian American with an entirely Asian American cast… and it’s happening here in Kansas City!

Representation Matter! Let’s talk about it after the show.

Join the Diversity & Inclusion community in Kansas City for a special evening at the Unicorn Theatre. NAAAP-GKC (National Association of Asian American Professionals Greater Kansas City) will host our first private reception at the Unicorn Theatre featuring Vietnamese cuisine and time for networking with your fellow community D&I advocates. The show will be followed by a discussion with the cast, facilitated by Michael Gonzales, Corporate Diversity & Inclusion Director at Hallmark.

The reception is free but we ask that you kindly RSVP by May 8th.

Each person is responsible for purchasing their own ticket(s) to the show.
The show is receiving rave reviews so we recommend getting tickets now.

About the Play

In Vietgone, award-winning pioneer playwright Qui Nguyen brilliantly chronicles the love story of his parents’ meeting in an Arkansas refugee center after fleeing Vietnam. It’s a buddy story, an all-American romance, and a motorcycle road-trip adventure that revisits how we think about the heroes and victims of the Vietnam War. Vietgone skips through time and roams the globe with snarky humor, hip-hop, and lots of humorous irreverence.
