Check out 'Japantown Returnings' this Saturday, May 31! San Jose is awash in history, but none of its neighborhoods has a richer and more diverse past than Japantown. The world premiere of Japantown Returnings seeks to capture that energy and commemorate 135 years of the neighborhood. Written by Mark Teagle and directed by Tasi Alabastro, with musical direction by Wayne Adachi, this once-in-a-lifetime performance takes audiences on a journey backward through time. (fb)
