I caught a performance at the Kirkland Performance Center near Seattle over the weekend. The three actors from the Speak Theater Arts (Allan Axibal, Rafael Agustin and Miles Gregley) in the show recount their experiences with racial stereotypes and identity in a show peppered with humor. The message is simple: We're all the same, no matter the color of our skin.
One of the running jokes involves Axibal, the Asian member of the trio (who's Filipino, but mistaken for Chinese), and Gregley, who is African American. You have to see the show to understand what the T-shirts for sale at the theater emblazoned with "Big Penis" on the front mean. If you haven't seen the show, I'll let your imagination fill in the blanks.
Here's some more info on the show: PDF
