Christmas with the Singhs
Here at the Good Pop Culture Club, the holidays don't begin until we check out the year's Asian American Hallmark Xmas film (but only because its almost always relegated to the start of the season). This year's entry is Christmas with the Singhs, a story a recently engaged couple who returns to their suburban hometown for Xmas, only to deal with a variety of parental shenanigans that threaten to tear them apart. We kind of know what we're in for, but could this be the year a Hallmark Asian American film finally breaks through?

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
The National Asian American Theatre Company’s acclaimed production of HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS brings an all-AANHPI cast to The Public Theater for a decades-spanning saga of Joan of Arc, warring dukes, and the bloody birth of the War of the Roses. Adapted by Stephen Brown-Fried, this is Shakespeare like you've never experienced it. Part 1: Foreign Wars opens with a king dead, an infant on the throne, and a country already coming apart at the seams. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later...and the bloodbath is yet to come. Simmering feuds explode into the War of the Roses, and nothing will ever be the same. Performances from June 9 through July 19! Use code H6BC for $59 tickets!
