During World War II, approximately 200,000 women – and young teenagers – from across Asia were forced into sexual slavery at “comfort stations” for the Imperial Japanese Army. Inspired by testimonies from the women survivors, COMFORT WOMEN: A New Musical features a cast of fifty-three Asian/Asian American actors to tell these stories which are excluded from history books.
Each audience member will receive a copy of CAN YOU HEAR US: The Untold Narratives of Comfort Women. A portion of proceeds will go to “House of Sharing,” the home for surviving Comfort Women living in South Korea.
Comfort Women: A New Musical is Directed by Dimo Hyun Jun Kim. Music by Bryan Michaels & TaeHo Park, and Lyrics by Bryan Michaels. Written by Dimo Hyun Jun Kim, OskerDavid Aguirre, Joann Malory Mieses, and Produced by Matthew Thomas Burda & Dimo Hyun Jun Kim.
