Out of the Box Theatrics' upcoming Off-Broadway revival of Michael John LaChiusa's See What I Wanna See is in rehearsals, with performances slated to begin September 4 ahead of a September 18 opening night at 154 Christopher Street. See Ann Sanders, starring as The Medium and Aunt Monica, sing "There Will Be a Miracle" from the score above.

Performances will continue through September 29.

The all-AAPI cast also includes Marina Kondo (Succession) as Kesa, The Wife, and An Actress; Kelvin Moon Loh (Beetlejuice) as The Husband and A CPA; Zachary Noah Piser (Dear Evan Hansen) as The Janitor and A Priest; and Sam Simahk (Into the Woods) as Morito, The Thief, and A Reporter. Aaron Albano and Bebe Browning round out the company as covers.

The new staging, directed by Emilio Ramos, features puppetry by Nikki Calonge and Takemi Kitamura. Justin Otaki Perkins is puppetry captain. Kondo has also penned Japanese translations for the revival.

The creative team also includes music director Adam Rothenberg, choreographer Paul McGill, scenic designer Emmie Finckel, costume designer Siena Zoë Allen, puppet designer Tom Lee with puppet fabrication by Chicago Puppet Studio, lighting designer Kat C. Zhou, sound designer Germán Martínez, and prop designer Samantha Shoffner. Kyra Bowie is stage managing, with Abi Rowe as assistant stage manager.

Originally premiering Off-Broadway at The Public in 2005, See What I Wanna See is adapted from short stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, including the well-known Rashomon. Both acts begin with a prologue inspired by Akutagawa's "Kesa and Morito," about a pair of fatally contentious lovers. The work's first act is mostly a retelling of Rashomon, while the second act takes inspiration from Akutagawa's Dragon: The Old Potter's Tale, modernizing the latter to center around the events of September 11, 2001.
