ARTS GARAGE in Delray Beach is Presenting MR. YUNIOSHI with J.Elijah Cho as Mickey Rooney
eTradeWire News/10788778
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - eTradeWire -- (Delray Beach, FL – November 20, 2024) Marjorie Waldo, President & CEO of Arts Garage, today confirmed that the nonprofit organization is presenting an award-winning, one-man show exploring the controversial, cringe-worthy subject of "yellowface" casting – which is also the topic and title of one of the hottest shows now running on Broadway. It is the term used to describe when white actors are cast in Asian roles and is comparable to the much-maligned minstrelsy of yesteryear.
"Perhaps one of the most egregious examples of yellowface casting is the role Mickey Rooney played in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's and that is the subject of this fascinating, thought-provoking production coming to Arts Garage," says Waldo.
December 15 (Sunday) at 7 pm
MR. YUNIOSHI
Written, Directed and Performed by
J. Elijah Cho as Mickey Rooney
I. Y. Yunioshi is the fictional role played by Mickey Rooney in Blake Edwards's 1961 comedy film Breakfast at Tiffany's, which was adapted from the 1958 novella by Truman Capote—a Japanese character The New York Times described as "bucktoothed, myopic (and) broadly exotic." This insulting characterization raises a lot of questions:
More on eTradeWire News
+ Should actors really have the opportunity to play any role?
+ Could there ever have been a "right" way for Rooney to play it?
+ And what compels an actor to play a character that they probably shouldn't be playing?
Asian-American writer/performer J. Elijah Cho attempts to explore these topics and more in this production, which received the award for Best Solo Show at the 2019 Hollywood Fringe Festival. The writer/actor from Los Angeles and Florida, previously appeared as Wonderboy in two seasons of the AMC series Halt & Catch Fire and has performed with such respected theatre companies as Jobsite, Stageworks, Hat Trick, and Tampa Rep.
