“American Morning seeks to challenge the status quo, lend voice to underrepresented people, and change the conversation... The result is a work that defines itself not by its music but by its mandate to challenge an audience’s way of thinking.” ~ Michael Korie "A powerful story, complex characters and a biting critique of the American immigrant experience today, all wrapped up in a suspenseful murder mystery." ~ David Henry Hwang
