Hot off the success of the television show Damages with Glenn Close, Noah Bean ’96 starred in the off-Broadway show Yellow Face by David Henry Hwang. A satirical play about cultural identity involving “family politics, international intrigue and Senate investigators all in pursuit of the ever-elusive truth. After inadvertently casting a white actor in the Asian lead role, the author finds himself in an embarrassing, ironic and hilarious position that takes the PC out of PC.”

Faculty and New York-area alumni gathered Saturday, December 1, 2007 to see Noah in performance and then catch up with him after the show at BBar & Grill. Pictured above: Ken Dooley ’94, Assist. Alumni Dir.

Beth Edelstein ’90 also attended the show. Mrs. Jane Martineau declared Noah’s performance, “Spectacular!”
