The community of national & local readers for the 44th annual Bay Area Playwrights Festival enthusiastically recommends PEELING ORANGES as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation out of 755 plays. We were deeply moved by the artistic merits of the shifting dynamics between the characters as we moved fluidly through time & reality and gripped by beautiful language with subtextual tension bubbling underneath. We were compelled by the vulnerable relationships between these women who were grounded & believable in their struggle with mental illness. We hope this play is widely read, finds dedicated collaborators, and moves swiftly towards production. #BAPF2021

I got to sit in on a workshop of this piece. It is lovely, funny and insightful. She gives us an intimate look in on a family and their all-too-relatable intergenerational tensions. I look forward to seeing more from this playwright.

A beautiful, personal play that resonates strongly in its intimate, slice-of-life portrayal of the lives of Asian women in small-town America. Anyone who's had the experience of a generational divide in their family --or that of living a life that the people closest to you can't or won't fully understand -- will see themselves in the tense and tender interpersonal drama of these characters working out the puzzle of how to love each other across constantly shifting cultural divides, all presided over by the ghosts of Frida Kahlo and a Korean grandmother acting as watchful chorus.
