The 5:30 PM chat will be hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee and will feature playwright Hwang and actor Francis Jue, who won an Obie for his work in Yellow Face.

Yellow Face, according to press notes, "is a mock documentary about a playwright (Hwang) that began with the controversy of casting a white actor in the Asian lead in Miss Siagon. . . . It delves into identity and race in America, ripe themes for a conversation today."

The event is free. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis; a book signing will follow.
