【vintage eroticism】Enter to watch online.'Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord' at Kirk Douglas Theatre

East West Players and vintage eroticismCenter Theatre Group present “Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord” through March 12 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, 9820 Washington Blvd. in Culver City.

Written and performed by Wong, director/deviser of “From Number to Name,” the show is directed by Chay Yew.

On Day 3 of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wong began sewing masks out of old bed sheets and bra straps on her Hello Kitty sewing machine. Before long, she was leading the Auntie Sewing Squad, a work-from-home sweatshop of hundreds of volunteers fixing the U.S. public health care system while in quarantine. It was a feminist care utopia forming in the midst of crisis — or possibly a mutual aid doomsday cult.

This Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Lortel Award-winning Pulitzer finalist and 2022 EWP Visionary Award winner invites the audience in on her work building community in isolation, while reflecting on what we’ve been through and imagining what we want to become.

The last preview is on Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 8 p.m. Opening night is on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 8 p.m.
