A Match Made in #@!??

KA actress Linda Park will play the lead in the world premiere of Phillip Kan Gotanda’s “Love in American Times,” opening at the San Jose Repertory Theatre May 18.  The play, directed by Rick Lombardo, takes a contemporary twist on the age-old tradition of matchmaking. Sparks are apparently not the only thing flying when Park’s character, the sharp and accomplished Scarlett Mori-Yang, meets wealthy businessman Jack Heller (played by J. Michael Flynn) in a pre-arranged match-up. Their so-called first date devolves into an exercise in one-upmanship.

“Love in American Times” runs through June 5. Tickets are available at the San Jose Rep Box Office, at 101 Paseo de San Antonio, or can be purchased online at www.SJRep.com or by calling 408.367.7255.
