DESCRIPTION:Written by Mona Z. Smith and Directed by Traci Mariano.\n\nIn t
 he autumn of 1969\, a young Japanese American man makes a pilgrimage to an
  ancient forest on a mountain in France where his father was killed in act
 ion under mysterious circumstances 25 years earlier\, in World War II. As 
 the traveler enters this eerie forest\, he is startled to encounter seven 
 men who fought with his father in a celebrated battalion of Nisei soldiers
 . When the traveler begs to know the true story of his father's death\, ti
 me flows backward as the ghost warriors tell a story of loyalty and betray
 al\, friendship and rivalry\, courage and trauma\, ghosts and demons\, lov
 e and revenge.\n\nThe play&rsquo\;s title is from an English translation o
 f the poem by Matsuo Bashō:&nbsp\;\n\nnatsukusa ya/Summer grass:\ntsuwamo
 no domo ga/All that remains\nyume no ato/Of warriors&rsquo\; dreams.\n\n<e
 m>All That Remains&nbsp\;</em>was inspired by the dreamlike ghost-warrior 
 plays of Noh theater\, especially Ikuta Atsumori by Zembo Motoyasu (1453-1
 532). While the play is a work of fiction\, it has a rich historical conte
 xt\, drawing on the very real and harrowing experiences of troops in the 1
 00th Battalion and 442nd Regimental Combat Team -- celebrated but segregat
 ed units of Japanese Americans who fought with distinction in some of the 
 bloodiest battles of WWII. Research for the play began in 1994\, and sourc
 es have included the Japanese American National Museum as well as archives
  in Hawaii and California\, which preserve a wealth of information about t
 hese soldiers\, their families\, and their communities.&nbsp\;\n\nThe cast
  includes:&nbsp\;\nAaron Aoki ∙ Jared Asato ∙ Cale Honda&nbsp\;∙&nbs
