P2 | PORTLAND PLAYHOUSE YOU FOR ME FOR YOU

CASTMia Chung is the author of You For Me For You, This Exquisite Corpse, Catch As Catch Can, and Skin In The Game. You For Me For You had its UK premiere at The Royal Court Theatre in London (December 2015). Upcoming productions of the play in 2016 include Mu Performing Arts (Minneapolis, MN). You For Me For You premiered at Woolly Mammoth (Washington DC, in association with Ma-Yi, supported by the NEA) and Company One (Boston). Mia’s work has been supported by awards, fellowships, and workshops from the Bay Area Playwrights Festival,

Civilians’ R&D Group, Hedgebrook Women Playwrights Festival, Icicle Creek Theatre Festival, Inkwell, LAByrinth, Playwrights Realm, RISCA, Southern Rep, the Stella Adler Studio, and TCG. She is a member of New Dramatists, a Huntington Playwright Fellow, and an emeritus member of the Ma-Yi Writers Lab.

We know little about life in North Korea—especially how ordinary citizens live in the countryside—because the North Korean government has so effectively controlled the flow of information within and across its borders. Communication with the outside world has been effectively silenced since 1953, aside from government-sanctioned visits primarily by political leaders, journalists and the occasional tourist group. The North Korean State has, by and large, curated the imagery that the world has of this country. As a result, there is so much that we, in the outside world, do not know. There is so much that we have no choice but to imagine.

What we do know is that the situation in North Korea is dire, especially for its most vulnerable, overlooked people living in the country. We know this from testimony of those few that have managed to flee the country. From their stories, we know of the sophistication and effectiveness of the State’s social control. Each refugee story is a miracle of the stubborn human will to survive.

We also know that the NK State feeds its citizens with magical tales about its leaders, elevating its first leader, Kim Il Sung, to the status of a god and his progeny and successors to demi-god status. The country is prolific with surreal fictions and fairytales about how and why its people work and live, as well as about the world outside.

So it goes without saying that North Korea is ripe for the imagination. When I sat down to write about my growing fascination with this nation, I made a deliberate choice to employ magic realism as a narrative

strategy—rather than attempt to depict the country realistically. North Korea itself employs magic realism in the weaving of its national narrative. Moreover, I believe a selective use of fantasy and miracle indirectly underscores the actual impossibility that North Koreans face if they wish to live differently from their country’s program. That an ailing North Korean woman could (and would) cross

her country’s border safely and alone, and start a new life elsewhere is a highly unrealistic proposition. It happens, but it doesn’t happen often, and never without random, crucial luck or help: something akin to magic.

NIKKI WEAVER (Liz, Dance Captain) You For Me For You, for me, is about processing our place in the world. I thought I’d share something you might not know about me. My own sense of place has been disrupted many times. At ten my mom died suddenly and I left the US ten days later to live in Australia with my father. After finishing college I moved back to the US to work at Shakespeare & Company, where I found my home for the next three years. I now call Portland home and I’m happy to be part of this team, this company, and this moving story of finding home. BFA from The Australian Academy of Dramatic Arts. MFA from George Washington University: Classical Theatre. Up next: A Doll’s House with Shaking the Tree, and Our New Girl with Corrib.

When I sat down to write about my growing fascination with this nation, I made a deliberate choice to employ magic realism as a narrative strategy...

La’ Tevin Alexander hails from the small yet grandiose city of Perry, FL. La’ Tevin is an alumnus of the illustrious Florida A&M University.

ELIZABETH BARTZ (Ensemble) is a member of the Portland Playhouse Apprentice Company for the 2015–2016 Season. She is a Michigander and earned her BA in Theatre and English Literature from Ohio Wesleyan University in 2013. Past credits include Guys & Dolls, Spamalot, and Annie, and she is excited to join the ensemble here. Ellie would like to thank her mom for all her support, Nikki Weaver and everyone else at The Playhouse for this amazing opportunity. She also thanks her dad for always encouraging her to embrace hope.

COLLETTE CAMPBELL (Ensemble) was last seen on The Playhouse stage in A Christmas Carol. Collette hails from New York, and is an Acting Apprentice this season with Portland Playhouse. Recent stage credits include Thoroughly Modern Millie (Millie), The Winter’s Tale (Antigonus), Still Life With Iris (Mom/Miss Overlook), Seussical!

GRETCHEN CORBETT (Director) I started directing plays in Los Angeles after I had been an actor there and in NYC for twenty years or so. My first outing was Born Yesterday in a little theatre in Santa Paula, California and I was so scared I wouldn’t get it right that I staged the whole show exactly like the Broadway production. It was a great success for the theatre. Imitation, as they say, is a great teacher. I went on to direct at the Odyssey and the Back Alley Theatres in LA and ultimately become the Resident Director for the Audrey Skirball-Kenis Theatre for several years, a theatre dedicated to nurturing new plays and playwrights. When I moved to Portland, Oregon, I founded, and for ten years ran, The Haven Project which paired underserved children with professional actors and writers to create original theatre. The productions I have directed in Portland include Bo-Nita for Portland Center Stage, Body Awareness and Reasons to Be Pretty for CoHo Theatre, The Alice Event at the Winningstad, Taming of the Shrew for Tygres Heart, The Further Adventures of Anse and Bhule in No Man’s Land for Sowelu Theatre and The Lower Rooms for Stark Raving Theatre. Several of the plays I directed received prizes—for the actors, for the designers, for the production, and a couple for me. It has been a privilege to work on this new version of Mia Chung’s extraordinary play.
