Philip K. Gotanda

Philip Kan Gotanda is a leading American playwright and filmmaker. Mr. Gotanda’s works have been produced at AATC, American Conservatory Theatre, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Campo Santo/Intersection for the Arts, East West Players, Manhattan Theatre Club, Mark Taper Forum, Missouri Rep, New York Shakespeare Festival, Playwrights Horizons, Robey Theatre Company, San Jose Repertory Theatre, Seattle Repertory Theatre, and South Coast Repertory. Mr. Gotanda has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, NEA Fellowship, and Rockefeller Playwriting Award. His films include “Life Tastes Good,” starring Tamlyn Tomita.

In “#5 Angry Red Drum,” two strangers are determined to survive with style amidst the post-apocalyptic ruins of a culture gone mad. When a mysterious drum appears, its rhythms inspire our lone heroes to build a new society. The fifth in Mr. Gotanda’s Garage Band Series of plays, “#5 Angry Red Drum” features a live original sound score with movement and dance in a tragi-comic parable for our times.
