“Peppered with both laughter and tears… theater at its most enriching and transcendent”

“Powerful, compelling, inspiring... the time could not be riper for Jeanne Sakata's Hold These Truths, the extraordinary tale of one American's fight for his inalienable rights at a time when his own government wished to deny them... Ryun Yu gives one of the year’s most dazzling performances... Kubzansky utilizes every inch of Ben Zamora’s striking, nearly bare set and its mere three chairs in ever more ingenious ways, aided by Zamora’s evocative lighting, Soojin Lee’s subtly morphing costume design and above all by John Zalewski’s sensational sound design... Gripping and suspenseful and peppered with both laughter and tears, Hold These Truths honors Gordon Hirabayashi’s battles, celebrates his ultimate victory, and reminds us of how much still needs to be done, now more than ever. It is far more than a solo performance. It is theater at its most enriching and transcendent."
