by Mike Lew

A world premiere of a Profile commission!

This production is held at:
The Ellyn Bye Studio in The Armory, 128 NW 11th Ave, Portland, OR 97209

Synopsis

BROS! Listen up. The truly dope brothers of Asian-American fraternity Alpha Zeta Nu (AZN) are about to embark on an epic pledge week of partying, ball taps, and absolutely based fraternal camaraderie. That is, until their Greek life comes face-to-face with Greek tragedy. Featured Playwright Mike Lew examines Asian-American identity, toxic masculinity, and pervasive stereotypes around Asian men, and does so with some serious comedy chops.

This production is the world-premiere of a Profile Theatre commission! Over the past two years, we have worked in close partnership with Mike to develop this script. Our audiences have had the unique experience of watching this script grow – having heard the very first draft at our 2025 Playwright Festival. We could not be more excited to share this distinctly Profile show with you!
