S.A.M. I Am
by Garrett Omata-

John Hamabata is a S.A.M. (Single Asian Male) looking for love and acceptance in the personage of Jackie Shibata,his cousin's half-Japanese roommate. Jackie, however, is looking for a S.W.M. (Single White Male). So what's a S.A.M. to do? Simple, John thinks, become exactly what Jackie wants...

AART opens it's third season with this comical romp through the world of relationships, the quest for love, the quest for community, and the personal ads.

AART's 9th production since its inception in 1995, and a recent hit of Asian American Theater, S.A.M. I Am has met wide success in its productions at the Asian American Theater Company (San Francisco),Asian Pacific Theater Company (Sacramento), Theater Mu (Minneapolis) as well as at its initial 1995 production at East-West Players in Los Angeles.

"...Omata's flair for comic irony cuts the bitterness. Theplay... is brightly written... [Omata's] message, and even the fantasy plot go down easy thanks to his gift for jokes that flow out of thecharacters..."

-Peter Haugen, Sacramento Bee
