Bad Ass Japanese Pimp with Whose Lion is it Anyway? and Underlings

A solo show and a set of short works by two distinctive playwrights:

Bad Ass Japanese Pimp: A Solo Show by Rob Katsuno - Rob, a Japanese-American, struggles to overcome his habit of choking when angry or put on the spot, repeatedly derailing his life's progress. Enter Ana, a Brazilian, igniting romantic sparks and cross-cultural hilarity. When they marry, Rob's susceptibility to pressure and anger returns with a vengeance. Marital tension escalates until an explosive crisis. Can Rob discover the key to navigating stressful situations and getting his life on track?

Plus: Two offbeat comedies by Brad Bolchunos, developed with Northwest Theatre Workshop:

Whose Lion Is It Anyway? - When a professional tamer confronts an adolescent lion about the steep consequences of misbehavior, they walk a tightrope between assumptions they’ve made about each other —and themselves.

Underlings - Captured by the Justice Jockeys, apprentice supervillains of the Harbingers of Havoc plot their escape. But even with a budding criminal mastermind in their midst, can they figure out how to overcome self interest?
