Tanko Bushi / Yellow Man
Playwrights: Allan Fujita, Dan Miranda and Marguerite Miranda

Playwrights Dan and Marguerite Miranda have written, produced, danced and sung in shows throughout Boston for 11 years, raising money for women and kids with HIV/AIDS. (At the Sign of the Pierrot Theater Company).

Playwright Allan Shigeo Fujita is interested in the authentic portrayal of Asian men in our popular culture. As multiculturalism is still an issue, we continue to present this work as a point of discussion for audiences young and old. It is set in both 1942 and the present, in a WWII internment camp for Japanese-Americans. Tanko-bushi is the coal-miner’s folk dance.
