"Sun uses her trademark humor, political incisiveness, and virtuosity to bring to life the entirety of the Lower East Side, from decorated Puerto Rican war veteran Manny, to octogenarian downstairs neighbor Mrs. Applebaum, to Candace herself," state press notes.

Sun is a playwright and performer whose show No Child garnered critical acclaim and toured the country following its 2006 Off-Broadway debut. Her film and TV credits include "Louie," "30 Rock" and "Law & Order: SVU."
