About this Event
BLUEBARN THEATRE Presents:
The Heart Sellers
By Lloyd Suh
February 5 – March 1, 2026
Directed by Wai Yim
The Heart Sellers is a poignant and gently humorous play that explores identity, belonging, and friendship through the lens of the immigrant experience. Set in 1970s America, it follows Luna and Jane, two Asian immigrant women who meet on Thanksgiving. Over the course of one evening, their growing bond becomes a lifeline—and a revelation. The Heart Sellers shines a light on the often-overlooked stories of immigrant women, offering a heartfelt exploration of what it means to find connection, hope, and a sense of belonging in a new world.
Ages 16+ Contains some mature content and themes.

Home. From the first read through to opening night, this word that appears 36 times in this play, has resonated. Oxford dictionary defines it as “the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.” Really? Join the cast and creative team of The Heart Sellers as they share their exploration of home, what it means to leave, and the challenges of creating a new one.
Home. It’s a place you love, it’s a place you leave, it’s a place you long for. It’s a place you Belong.
It’s a place you may never see again.
