The Heart Sellers
by Lloyd Suh
Directed by Helen Young
It’s Thanksgiving 1973, and life in the USA is lonely for recent Asian immigrants Jane and Luna, with their workaholic husbands leaving them to fend for themselves. Over sips of wine and a questionable frozen turkey, they reminisce about home and dream of spreading their wings together in the land of opportunity: disco dancing, learning to drive, and even a visit to Disneyland. Inspired by the landmark “Hart-Celler Act” which opened a new path to citizenship for people around the world, this funny and moving play gives a big-hearted voice to the Asian immigrant experience.

Poignant and funny come together so naturally. Aja Alcazar and Seoyoung Park are enchanting to watch.

Chicago Theatre Review
The two performers are charming indeed. Alcazar is a live wire who gives the production its energy. Park is a significant comic talent.
