‘ASIANS STRIKE BACK: A CORONAVIRUS COMEDY & SCIENCE SHOW’ at Caveat (March 1, 4 p.m.). Kyle Marian and Esther Chen host this comedy showcase that doubles as a scientific tutorial to ease anxieties New Yorkers may feel about the Covid-19 outbreak. Performances by the stand-ups Usama Siddiquee, Bryan Yang and others will lighten the mood between more serious discussions by experts about coronavirus. Both approaches will apply to a face mask fashion show finale.

Denver Center showing comedic cultural drama ‘Smart People’
The other female character is an Asian-American research psychologist played by Esther Chen. Dr. Ginny Yang is another ball of pent-up frustration as she navigates the ninnies and nonsense all around her. Yang is the most enigmatic of the four, a minority with a strong belief that she's got to be better than everyone else just to stay even, and fully equipped with a full suit of emotional armor. Chen plays her with great skill, moving her from perhaps the least sympathetic character to the one you might most want to offer a hug.
