A one-man comedy, back by popular demand! Now rescheduled to August!

Young, Asian American actor J. Elijah Cho plays the role of Mickey Rooney as he wrestles with his conscience when the studio asks him, a white man, to play the Asian character in Breakfast At Tiffany’s.

"A beautiful balance of comedy and social commentary."  - Steven Vargas, LA Times

WHO IS MR. YUNIOSHI?

"Mr. Yunioshi is probably the most prominent example of yellowface in movies...I will be playing a Caucasian guy playing an Asian character. That is who Mr. Yunioshi is.”

WHAT ARE THE THEMES OF MR. YUNIOSHI?

"I think the show is a reflection of something that I don't think I've seen before for an Asian actor."

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE MR. YUNIOSHI?

"I desired to write something about a very difficult topic...I think the show is a reflection of how it feels to see yourself, or not see yourself, represented."

- J. Elijah Cho, Mr. Yunioshi writer/director/performer
