It’s May, so that means it’s time to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

If you’re wondering how to celebrate, check out the “Our Perspective: Asian American Play Readings” series May 13 at the Steppenwolf Theatre. It’s the first series of its kind in the Midwest.

Curator and actor Mia Park joins Morning Shift to talk about the series and other exciting developments in Chicago’s Asian American theater community.

GUEST: Mia Park, actor and curator of “Our Perspective: Asian American Play Readings”
