With Mina Morita, Artistic Director of Crowded Fire

An award-winning playwright who confronts controversial themes head-on, Young Jean Lee has been hailed as “the most adventurous downtown playwright of her generation” by the New York Times and “one of the best experimental playwrights in America” by Time Out New York. With the 2018 production of Straight White Men at the Hayes Theater, she became the first Asian American woman to have a play produced on Broadway. Her plays deconstruct topics like race, feminism, class, religion and more through multi-disciplinary, multi-media storytelling approaches that defy and subvert tradition and expectations. In addition to being a director and filmmaker, she is the Founder and Artistic Director of Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company, with plays published by TCG (Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven and Other Plays, The Shipment and Lear) and by Samuel French (Three Plays by Young Jean Lee). She is the recipient of a 2011 Guggenheim Fellowship, two OBIE Awards, the Festival Prize of the Zürcher Theater Spektakel, a 2010 Prize in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a 2012 Doris Duke Artist Award.
