In 1904, the United States held the World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri.

One of the exhibits was a human zoo of my people.

Theatre is sort of an exhibit.

In an unnamed city in the Bay Area, California, a family of Filipino-Americans inherit a run-down restaurant, a suburban home, and a Filipina housekeeper. What happens when the establishment of a legacy clashes with the healing of another? exhibition: Fil-O-PiNOS is a new play by Brandon Bautista, exploring the ways that Filipinos live in art and are observed in life.
