Description

Just in time for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Selected Shorts and AAWW join forces to present an evening of Asian American fiction that considers the generational divide. Join us for funny and insightful stories about family, what is passed down, and what gets lost in translation and time.

Take great stories by well-known and emerging writers, add captivating actors of stage and screen, and you have Selected Shorts—unforgettable nights of literature in performance.

Did you know that Selected Shorts is also recorded for national public radio? As an audience member, you will be part of what makes Selected Shorts broadcasts and podcasts so special. And you can listen to your favorite stories again on your local public radio station or on the Selected Shorts podcast. To find out more, visit SelectedShorts.org.
