About Me

Lodestone’s first musical production, The Mikado Project follows a struggling Asian American acting troupe as it tries to create its own de-constructed, politicized version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic “Japanese” musical The Mikado, while dealing with grant deadlines, interpersonal problems, sexual/political issues and an ex-lead actor-turned-TV star-turned-has-been.
