By David Henry Hwang
David Henry Hwang's 1980 Obie Award-winning play FOB returned to AATP, where David Henry Hwang originally conceived of and workshopped it while he was an undergraduate at Stanford, in 2010. FOB contrasts the experiences of Asians who are "fresh off the boat" in America and Asian-Americans who have become established in the US. FOB was produced in conjunction with an AATP alumni panel featuring David Henry Hwang '79, Hope Nakamura '82, Nancy Takahashi Hatamiya '81, and Lisa Pan '81 and a discussion of the play lead by Professor David Palumbo-Liu.
