“Bros/Hos/Foes”by Timothy Tau
Two Asian American Hollywood Actors stumble upon “The Limitless Eternity,” a space outside of time that allows them to see all of time. They use it to reflect on the past, present and future of their calling and the harshness of “The Industry,” as well as their shared camaraderie (Bros), their relationships with women (Hos), and the competition and sometimes veiled antagonism of the creative community that they struggle to thrive in (Foes).

Mix a shrink, an A-list white actress, a celebrity chef and a transvestite fortune-telling Thai cooking show host of the third sex. Stir-fry with sweet, salt, sour and spicy relationships. Serve hot and bothered.

About the Institute
In 1991, playwright David Henry Hwang (“F.O.B.,” “The Dance and the Railroad,” “M. Butterfly”) and East West Players joined together to create the David Henry Hwang Writers Institute, which provides a series of writing classes designed to foster new work for the stage. Administered by EWP Literary Manager Jeff Liu, it is a nationally recognized force in the creation of plays that embrace the voice of a multiethnic America.
Instructors have included playwrights such as Doris Baizley, Paula Cizmar, Prince Gomolvilas, Amy Hill, Silas Jones, Annette Lee, Peter Sagal, Rick Shiomi, Judy Soo Hoo, Kelly Stuart, Alice Tuan, Elizabeth Wong, Chay Yew, and Brian Nelson, a founder of the Institute. Guest lecturers have included playwrights such as Philip Kan Gotanda, Amy Hill, Desmond Nakano, Wakako Yamauchi, Chay Yew, and Hwang himself. One-act and full-length plays of all genres are created by writers in the institute, and each session of classes culminates in public readings of these works, staged by professional actors and directors.
