Very funny because I am asian and how american they are

"Whats a rice cooker"-Tennage Daughter After seeing one

SUMMARY

Of Hookman

The Hookman is about a girl named Lexi that has staarted college as a freshman. She keeps seeing a serial killer with a hook for a hand killing people that only she can see.Overall a very scary and violent play with occainsional humor.

Very weird and kind of creative that they use a steering wheel for a car

A creaative thing is that they eat in-n-out during the play

SUMMARY

Of King of the Yees

King of the Yees is about a playwright frantically getting ready for playShe is fustrated because her father Larry Yee is obsessed with Yee Fung Toy associasion, which pereserves the Yee lineShe goes through a journey understandng why he is so obsesssed with it.

I like it because of how it shows culture is so important (and the dad disappeared)

I also like how the main character is the playwright
