Is there a real controversy with Hamilton? Should kids go back to school in the fall? And how do you deal with one misguided actor in a large ensemble? On this latest episode of The Yay, Norman Gee and I welcome Aureen Almario, the artistic director of Bindlestiff Studios, the only Filipino American owned theatre company in the United States. Last year, Bindlestiff celebrated their 30th year in existence. Bindlestiff, the only Filipino-American owned theatre company in the United States, has given a voice to Filipino artists and the strong Filipino community in the bay area.
