HOLD THESE TRUTHS (formerly Dawn's Light: The Journey of Gordon Hirabayashi)

Joel de la Fuente stars in HOLD THESE TRUTHS, Jeanne Sakata’s one-man show inspired by the true story of Gordon Hirabayashi, a Japanese American college student during WWII.  Agonizing over the forcible removal of all people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast, Gordon journeys toward a greater understanding of America’s triumphs—and a confrontation with its failures.  Gordon Hirabayashi was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in May of 2012 by President Obama.  Lisa Rothe directs HOLD THESE TRUTHS, which runs October 12th-November 18th.  SPECIAL TICKET OFFER FOR ASIAN AMERICAN ARTS ALLIANCE MEMBERS: Purchase 25% discount tickets through 10/22/12 by going to www.EpicTheatreEnsemble.org and using the discount code EPAAAA at checkout.   Also: please visit our HOLD THESE TRUTHS Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/HoldTheseTruths
