Eric Ting directs the cast which stars Ben Chase (Mondo Tragic), Jinn S. Kim (Race, Religion & Politics), Whit K. Lee (Assassins), Christopher Liam Moore (All The Way), Shannon Tyo (The Chinese Lady), Amy Kim Waschke, and Eric Yang (Legacy).
The production features scenic design by Clint Ramos, costume design by Junghyun Georgia Lee, lighting design by Jiyoun Chang, sound design by Fan Zhang, wigs, hair, and makeup by Tommy Kurzman, and casting by The Telsey Office's William Cantler, Karyn Casl, and Destiny Lilly.

The fellowship is named in celebration of the U.S. Census Bureau's projection that by the year 2050 there will be no single racial or ethnic majority in the U.S.
The Off-Broadway theatre has announced the lineup of its new season, which includes new work and a revival of Sam Shepard's Curse of the Starving Class.
