The Critically Acclaimed
HELLO (SEX) KITTY
Mad Asian Bitch On Wheels

A heartfelt and humorous exploration into love, dating and sexuality, this work excites all genders to laugh, talk and respect each other. Uyehara tells it like it is through the Vegetable Girl, the Mad Kabuki Woman, an Asian dyke and an Asian guy. She tackles "that Asian male/female thang" in 'The Joy Fucked Up Club', examines love, violence and respect among men and women, discusses HIV/AIDS, and gives the real deal on women loving women. Nominated for "Outstanding Cultural Event of 1996" by the Lambda Awards, Philadelphia Gay News.

Critic's Choice...Utterly convincing and pointedly funny....a performer of humor, depth and seeming fearlessness."
- L.A. Weekly

"[Uyehara] describes making love as an opportunity to see, if only for a moment, a person with the layers stripped away....we are naked at the moment of orgasm, and it is then that our true selves are visible through the eyes."
-Labyrinth Philadelphia Women's Newspaper

"With an affinity for truth telling, body baring, and institution baiting [Uyehara is] quietly focused as a laser...fueled by a wonderful sense of the absurd...like most everything else about her, it's not quite logical, but it makes perfect sense."
- One of the Hundred Coolest People in L.A. , Buzz Magazine

 

The Award-winning
HEADLESS TURTLENECK RELATIVES
A Tale of Family and a Grandmother's Suicide by Fire

A theatrical dreamscape that honors family, relatives and the legacy they leave behind. This death and life affirming piece mixes stories, movement and music to help us laugh, cry and find ourselves within the tales of our grandparents.

"A haunting reflection of the past...blends song and soliloquy."
- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"Critic's Choice...Treading the high ground between sentiment and cynicism, Uyehara relates her grandmother's fiery suicide in simple, evocative terms....[Her] wonder as she explores the unkowable resonates beyond the theater's walls to the dark details that inhabit the corners of our lives. "
- L.A. Weekly

"The telling of her tales pointed and the performance itself pristine....the material careens from tragedy to irony, and from past to present to future...In fact, what separates Uyehara from the pack is that she has both a voice, as in stage and vocal skills, and a voice, as in sharply realized point of view.
- Los Angeles Times
