 The Intelligent
Design of Jenny Chow
Friendly faces and a fantastic play were the highlights of NAAAP-Phoenix's
recent outing to the Herberger Theatre. The
group packed the upper balcony of the downtown Phoenix playhouse
for a Friday-night performance of "The Intelligent
Design of Jenny Chow."
More than 50 members and friends of NAAAP came out for the
event on Nov. 10. The turnout was a great success, especially
considering it was the first of the organization's cultural
outings, according to Jason Wong, one of
the group's vice presidents.
The Actors Theatre play featured a story
about an adoptee who has issues with her South Californian
mother, her Chinese biological mother, plus
a few nervous ticks thrown in. The production was the Arizona
premiere of the script written by Rolin Jones.
Asian American Melody Butiu stars as Jennifer
Marcus, a sassy 22-year-old genius and computer wiz
who overcomes her gripping personal hang-ups by building a
robot (Jenny Chow) to fly to China
to find her biological mother. Jennifer's in-home and on-line
interactions with a whacky group of side characters were especially
good because they shape a story that's profoundly funny and
touching at the same time.
Add in an audience full of new NAAAP friends, and "The
Intelligent Design
of Jenny Chow" made for a great evening.
Katie Nelson is president of the Arizona
Chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association
and a reporter for The Arizona Republic.
