We check out Blue Bayou, the new film written and directed by Justin Chon, who also stars opposite Alicia Vikander. In the film, Justin plays Antonio LeBlanc, a struggling tattoo artist trying to build a life for his pregnant wife and stepdaughter who ends up the target of deportation because his adoptive parents never finished the paperwork to grant him citizenship when he was adopted from Korea. We follow his journey as he fights to stay with his family in the only country he's ever known.

Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
