The Heart Sellers
by Lloyd Suh
Directed by Jennifer Chang
October 16 – November 17, 2024
Northern California Premiere
Co-Production with TheatreWorks Silicon Valley & Aurora Theatre Company
Jane and Luna run into each other in the grocery store on Thanksgiving in 1973 and find they have much in common: each are recent Asian immigrants, a bit homesick and lonely with hardworking absentee husbands, and adjusting to a new country filled with new opportunities. Over sips of wine and a questionable frozen turkey, they dream of disco dancing, learning to drive, and even a visit to Disneyland, and share their hopes and challenges for making a new home in a new land with grace and dignity.
“Finally, ‘The Heart Sellers’ is the fitting tribute to your immigrant parents.” –Lily Janiak, SF CHRONICLE
“This production of THE HEART SELLERS is taking a victory lap through Northern California for good reason. It delivers with incredible acting and a meaty, layered dialogue.” –Dave Kempa, SN&R
“THE HEART SELLERS at Capital Stage is a poignant look at friendship and courage.” –Courtney Symes, BROADWAY WORLD
“…[THE HEART SELLERS] hits the stage at Capital Stage like a well-oiled machine. …This production’s success has much to do with two terrific actresses, Nicole Javier and Wonjung Kim, who bring their characters to vivid life gradually and with great skill.” –Chris Narloch, OUTWORD MAGAZINE
