(92nd Street Y) George Takei with Jordan Roth!

We know George Takei for his role as “Star Trek”’s Mr. Sulu, and for his 8.6 million Facebook followers, and for his LGBT advocacy—but when he was a child, he and his family were forced from their Los Angeles home into an internment camp for Japanese Americans thousands of miles away in the swamps of Arkansas, as a “security” measure during World War II.

Hear how his story has become the inspiration for Allegiance, the new Broadway musical in which Takei also stars, as he talks with Jujamcyn Theaters president and owner Jordan Roth.

This event was recorded on September 20, 2015 at 92nd Street Y.
