COME SEE ‘MRS. KIM’ ON THE LIVE STAGE

Calling all Gilmore Girls fans! Calling all Gilmore Girls fans!

If you are missing the irascible ‘Mrs. Kim’ from the hit television series, then you must see her in a new play called THE ENCHANTED NIGHTINGALE at film and television director Garry Marshall’s Falcon Theatre in Burbank.

Did you know that Emily Kuroda, otherwise known as Lane’s mother ‘Mrs. Kim’ from the Gilmore Girls, is a trained theatre actress?

Before joining the long running television series, Kuroda was best known for her extensive work on stage: East West Players, Actor’s Co-op, La Jolla Playhouse, Playwright’s Arena, the Public, BAM (NYC), South Coast, CTG, Berkley Rep, Singapore Rep, LA Woman’s Shakespeare, Huntington Theatre (Boston), and LATC.

For a limited time (through September) Kuroda is currently starring as the wise, nurturing, and comic ‘Mrs. Wu’ in THE ENCHANTED NIGHTINGALE, based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Emperor And The Nightingale.”

Over the years, Kuroda has acted in some 35 productions. She’s received five Dramalogue awards, a Garland award for outstanding performance, and a LA Ovation nomination for Best Lead Actress. Kuroda has become a staple in Asian-American theater — including in David Henry Hwang’s M Butterfly.

You won’t want to miss her in the Falcon’s production of THE ENCHANTED NIGHTINGALE also starring Kathleen Chen, West Liang and from MTV Chi, Simon Yin. Together the four-some bring to life a delightful tale about learning that the most valuable of treasures are the family and friends that surround us.

The ENCHANTED NIGHTINGALE performance schedule and show information can be found at www.falcontheatre.com or by calling the box office at 818-955-8101.
