Master sushi chef Koji built his successful career on respect—for tradition, fine ingredients, and the legends who came before him. But now his restaurant, considered one of the greatest in Tokyo, is losing its customers to newer and flashier places. It’s time for a new generation to take over. Koji’s brilliant protégé Takashi might know how to save the restaurant, if only he could find a way to tell his mentor. Kimber Lee’s beautiful play will take audiences into the mind of the chef-as-artist and bring to vibrant life the sheer exhilaration of creating bite-sized masterpieces. tokyo fish story is a gorgeous meditation on work, legacy, and the art of perfection.

The cast of tokyo fish story includes Tina Chilip (Off Broadway’s Golden Child, House Rules, A Dream Play) as Ama Miyuki and Woman; Tim Chiou (You Can’t Take It with You at Geffen Playhouse, world premiere of Year Zero at Victory Gardens Theater) as Takashi; Raymond Lee (world premieres of Vietgone and Office Hour at South Coast Repertory) as Nobu; James Saito (The King and I and Golden Child on Broadway) as Koji; and Jon Norman Schneider (The Old Globe’s The White Snake, Lincoln Center Theater’s The Oldest Boy) as Tuna Dealer Apprentice, Oishi, Toru, Yuji, Daisuke, and Hirayama.

Roberts and Charles Coes (Sound Design and Original Music), David Huber (Vocal Coach), Caparelliotis Casting (Casting), and Jess Slocum (Production Stage Manager).

“Kimber Lee’s insightful and sweetly engaging play tokyo fish story is as gentle and quiet as the lowercase letters in its title, and it’s a wonderful way to close our spring season in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre,” said Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. “A charming fable about the tension between art and commerce, the gap between mastery and hackwork, and the bittersweet joys of retirement, the play moves me greatly. It represents a culture all too rarely seen on American stages, and I am proud to bring it to San Diego audiences. I am also proud to welcome the talented May Adrales to the Globe for the first time. Her superb team of designers and actors will create a memorable evening of theatre.”
