"Chung’s sharply written play is not an attack on religion but on dehumanizing, apocalyptic zealotry...The fine ensemble...enacts the story tenderly."
--LA WEEKLY
"One Nation, Under God plays with our conventional ideas of life and death, challenges our ideas of history, asks us to fathom what it’s like realizing your fundamental beliefs are wrong, and makes us understand the true meaning of sacrifice -- regardless of whether we understand or agree."
--ASIA PACIFIC ARTS MAGAZINE
"As Paul Kim, actor Ryun Yu presents a captivating portrayal of a Generation Xer whose faith replaces his scientific judgment once he receives messages from an angelic visitor. "

A reading of a new play
POINT
written by Nic Cha Kim
directed by Shishir Kurup
featuring Vic Chao, Charles Kim, Emily Kuroda, Shishir Kurup, Tony Lee & Camille Mana
When the lead actress drops out before the final scene is shot, two filmmakers go "on the road" in search of a new ending.  When the world starts to collapse all around them, they find shelter in a country bumpkin, a magician and a runaway. Do they find their ending? Yah, well, sort of... if you can call it that.
