Women have traditionally been shown as subdued beings in Chinese culture. Even in modern times, this remains true for many societies across Asia. Yet, the spread of Peking opera in Taiwan is breaking this mold. Guoguang Theatre Company has deliberately been valuing female roles both on stage and off. Though they are not the first to use a female actor for a female role, this can be seen as a revolutionary act when seen through the eyes of Yu-lin Huang. In ‘A Taiwanese Dan,’ we hear from Huang, who is a renowned Taiwanese Peking opera actress. She entertains with the basics of playing a dan role (a.k.a. female roles in Peking opera). Huang also demonstrates her rendition of an iconic Peking opera character—one that is reflective instead of emotive, strong-willed but tender, ultimately conveying the importance for females like her to play a female character. It might seem natural for Taiwan to be a ground for such change in Peking opera. Especially given that Taiwan is the first nation in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, as well as its recent #metoo movement. But when considering that this art form is 200 years-old, the evolution of a so-called Taiwanese dan role is all the more impressive.

United States is a short-lived half-hour comedy-drama that NBC added to its Tuesday primetime schedule in March 1980.Larry Gelbart, the show's executive producer and chief writer, said the name United States was not a reference to the country but rather to "the state of being united in a relationship". Gelbart envisioned a series that would be "a situation comedy based on the real things that happen in my marriage and in the marriages of my friends".Episodes tackled such topics as marital infidelity, household debt, friends who drink too much, death within the family, and sexual misunderstandings.United States focused on Richard and Libby Chapin, an upwardly mobile couple who lived in a Los Angeles suburb. Beau Bridges played Richard, and Helen Shaver played Libby. Gelbart reverted to black-and-white script for the show's titles. He said that was to convey the mood of "a sophisticated '30s film." Gelbart also avoided use of background music and a laugh track. Scripts featured dialogue such as, "Just for once I'd like to be treated like a friend instead of a husband," and "Maybe you and Bob can go out and get yourselves one redhead with two straws."United States premiered at 10:30 p.m. on March 11, 1980. NBC pulled it from the schedule within two months, after only six of 13 episodes had aired. The remaining episodes were not broadcast until 1986, when the A&E cable channel aired United States.

UNTITLED AZHAR USMAN PROJECT is a refreshingly honest and ferociously independent standup film by veteran (yet indie and underground) standup comic Azhar Usman, directed by his longtime collaborator, Paul Elia. The one-time co-creator of "Allah Made Me Funny-The Official Muslim Comedy Tour" now finds himself working in Hollywood, inside the proverbial 'Belly of the Beast,' writing for successful TV shows, and even joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But who cares? From thoughtful ruminations on the nature of life and existence itself, to deeply confessional and personal stories, Azhar takes a startling (yet hilarious) look at his own fears, insecurities, and privately held beliefs, while trying to make sense of the crazy world around us. UNTITLED AZHAR USMAN PROJECT is a tour-de-force of spiritual wisdom, philosophical examination, and raw standup comedy, illustrating why Dave Chappelle once remarked: "Azhar is untouchable, he's like a comedian from the future."
