Was Gloria Abe Chapman somehow responsible for John Lennon\u2019s murder? Why do all these egotistical white guys marry Asian women? That\u2019s weird, right? These questions keep Ruby Okamoto up at night. She\u2018s getting answers\u2014even if she has to summon all of Asian America into her insomniatic fever dream. <em>Yoko\u2019s Husband\u2019s Killer\u2019s Japanese Wife, Gloria<\/em>\u00a0is a new musical written by Brandy Hoang Collier, Clare Fuyuko\u00a0Bierman, and Erika Ji. In it, five Asian American women are pulled into nineteen-year-old Ruby\u2019s fantastical dreamscape, where subconscious thoughts manifest as real-life rockstars and movie monsters. They journey, dream, and address the hard-to-define-but-definitely-there connection between Asians in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clare Fuyuko\u00a0Bierman\u00a0is a librettist and lyricist raised in a Japanese-Jewish home with some rabbits, a snake, and a bunch of finches.
