When it happened, those watching couldn’t quite believe what they had just seen and heard. During the Ovation Awards for local theater Tuesday night, a nominee in the category of featured actress in a play had her name mispronounced and when her face was supposed to appear onscreen, the photo of a fellow Asian American cast member popped up instead.
Jully Lee saw a picture of a woman who was not her, and she was stunned. Her first response was to laugh. She didn’t even realize her name had been mispronounced too until the incident began boiling over on social media. “Oh no, that too?” thought Lee, who was nominated for her work in “Hannah and the Dread Gazebo,” a co-presentation of East West Players and the Fountain Theatre.
