Asian America meets Friends in this serio-comedy about nothing in a La-La Land made up of images and false idols. Life begins at twenty-three, when five young friends get kicked out of their West L.A. apartment and start searching for a new home. The roommates\' eviction turns out to be the catalyst that gets these five would-be members of "The Model Minority" to begin their pursuit of *something*, of a future, of a past, of a place where they belong.

Four friends, a Korean, a Chinese, a Japanese and Vietnamese girl, struggle for the perfect grade in the academically elite Flushing High School. They vie for the cutest boy in school, the perfect prom dress and most importantly, the prestigious scholarship to Harvard. But underneath the model minority stereotypes, Linda, Eve, Michelle and Liat endure some pretty tough times at home and see Harvard as a means of escape from their hardships. But nothing can be stronger than four Asian girls standing together! When one friend is in trouble, they morph into their altar egos Wonder Girl, Slut Girl, Dyke Girl and Nerd Girl to help those friends in need. Because in the end, our girl heroes know that what really counts are good friends who would go to the ends of the world to rescue you, even if it means losing the Invisible BMW every now and then.

Itzak Vonderly is dead, and his multi-ethnic generation of adopted and disabled children sit ritualistic "shiva" over a family era. The search for new roles begins: this is a house in its mourning.
This is a Second Generation production not a Public Theater production.
Hosted by the country’s most prestigious theaters, including the Joseph Papp Public Theater and New York Theater Workshop, Second Generation\'s In the Works reading series provides a vital stage for emerging writers to develop quality scripts and showcase their daring works with the aide of Second Generation’s cadre of professional actors and directors. The mission of the series is to bring attention to and develop the work of Asian American writers, or works that reflect the Asian American experience. Over the past few years, the series has proven itself to be a remarkable launching pad for new works and their playwrights to blossom, with many past readings going on to productions across the country. An open dialogue with the audience follows directly after each reading, allowing the audience a rare insight into the artistic process.
