‘Our Town’ with All-Asian American Cast Posted On The National Asian American Theatre Company will present a virtual reading of “Our Town” by Thornton Wilder with an all-Asian American cast for one night only, Wednesday May 19, at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific, in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The proceeds of this reading will benefit the company. Yumi Iwama, who portrayed Emily Webb in NAATCO’s 1994 production of the play, proposed the reading to NAATCO, following her recent interview with The New York Times: “The idea that I was this Asian actress playing this iconic American role was just daunting. I remember being in kind of a high emotional state throughout the run, because I really wanted to do it well. And I loved Emily. She didn’t have these issues of ‘Do I belong here?’ She was part of this town, part of this community. She just lives her life with abandon in a way that I never felt I had the license to.
