December 15-Mr. Yunioshi – Written, Directed, and Performed by J. Elijah Cho as Mickey Rooney at Arts Garage

7pm to 8:30pm. Mickey Rooney’s infamous performance as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany’s is often pointed to as the most egregious example of yellowface in the movies. His over the top characterization is cringeworthy to watch to this day, but it also raises several questions: Should actors really have the opportunity to play any role? Could there ever have been a “right” way for him to play it? And what compels an actor to play a character that they really probably shouldn’t be playing?
Asian-American writer/performer J. Elijah Cho attempts to explore these topics and more in his show, Mr. Yunioshi. (Best Solo Show, 2019 Hollywood Fringe Festival)

THE TOBY CENTER-FOR FAMILIES IN TRANSITION

The Toby Center’s Mission: To maximize child outcomes by strengthening parent and child relationships when parents separate. This is accomplished through a replicable program of wraparound services including family mediation and parent coordination, supervised visitation, and therapeutic interventions.
Join Thousands of Others! The Toby Center is a nonprofit organization whose client parents just haven’t enough money to see their children for appropriate visitation services. Tragically, the State of Florida does not prioritize these children and makes no money available to help these families. Traditionally funders who claim they appreciate our work, but sadly, are not interested in funding these vital services. Our Services: Monitored Child Exchange, Family Therapy/Counseling, Therapeutic Supervised Visitation, Family Court Mediation, Support Groups, Supervised Visitation, Parent Education, Child Reunification Therapy, Legal Services, Parental Alienation Resources Contact us: https://www.thetobycenter.org/ CALL US: Main Office: 855-862-923 For Services: 855-862-9236 ext. 1 VISIT US: The Toby Center, 100 East Linton Boulevard, Suite 306A,Delray Beach, Florida 33483 Dr. Mark Roseman, [email protected] Also check out the new Contemporary Family Magazine: www.contemporaryfamilymagazine.com
