Jude
Narita international actor/writer started writing and performing her
own works after becoming frustrated by the lack of available roles,
and with the continual portrayals in the media, of demeaning and one-dimensional
stereotypes of Asian women without dignity or understanding. Narita
is best known for her award-winning one-woman plays which celebrate
the lives of Asian and Asian American women: COMING INTO PASSION/SONG
FOR A SANSEI, Stories Waiting To Be Told, Celebrate Me Home, Walk
The Mountain, and With Darkness Behind Us, Daylight Has Come.
"In
an astonishing solo performance, Jude Narita, a versatile actress
and fearless writer, sheds an authentic, humorous and deeply moving
light on the dilemma of the Asian American woman."
