Achievers then went on to productions at college campuses across the country; each production featured a local cast, director, and crew. Thus, the play found its target audience and a home at each school.

Dartmouth Blitz

The very first production of Achievers took place at Ivy League college Dartmouth, in Hanover, New Hampshire. There, the play has the distinction of being the first Asian American play ever performed in the school's history. Headed up by Andrew "Chuey" Chu, a crackerjack squad composed of Dartmouth students Morna Ha, Gerald Lam, Diana Lau, Richard Park, and Wen-Kai Ying rocked the house. The sun shines down on the Bentley Theater as Achievers plays alongside "Film" and "Chamber Singers".

Cal-ifornication Almost immediately after the Dartmouth production came the performance at U.C. Berkeley. Director Homer Rabara put together an enhanced performance with an extra layer of video and multimedia effects. The cast included Ryan Morales, Mina Kurata, Stephanie Don, Aaron Niles, and Tad Yagi, and was a visual riot.

As Seen On TV: Berkeley's Cast

The Cardinal Rule The next Achievers production took place at Berkeley's rival Stanford University, home to the Asian American Theatre Project (originally founded by David Henry Hwang). Professor Daphne Lei directed a student cast comprised of Dan Lee, Miki Nguyen, Ricky Wang, Erik Wong, and Winnie Yuan. The show, produced by John Lim, packed audiences in on every night.

Finally...

Finally, Achievers played at Cal Poly Pomona, and is about to finish off its college series with a show back in the Bay Area at Contra Costa College. Finally, the play ended its cross-country tour with last August's public reading in Washington DC with Asian Stories in America, DC's hottest API theatre company.
