How can we break the cycle that compels immigrants and their children to leave homes and families in search of security? From East, Like the Sun follows two generations in two families (and one 19th century ghost) searching for the mother lode - whether it’s gold, or a stable way of life.
Playwright Karen Li, previously produced by Rapid Lemon as part of Variations on Change in 2022, is a local multidisciplinary artist whose other plays have been produced by Strand Theater, Theaterlab, and La Jolla Playhouse. Jalice Ortiz-Corral (Honey Bee Baby, Variations on Courage, Variations on The End) directs.
Performed live on stage at Strand Theater, 5426 Harford Road, Baltimore, MD 21214. Tickets are general admission, $25. A special discounted "Industry Night" performance is just $15, on Monday, January 12. We'll have a talkback with the playwright following the performance on Friday, January 23, and a special "Masked Matinee" on January 18th - audience members will be required to wear masks for that performance.
Rapid Lemon Productions will present Variations on Silence, Baltimore's annual ten-minute play festival featuring 12 world premiere short plays by local writers, performed live at Strand Theater.
FROM EAST, LIKE THE SUN is a multi-generational drama, a mystery, a comedy, a coming-of-age story, a social commentary and a completely captivating experience. It explores themes of stability, opportunity, other-ness, connection and growth in a fresh way that feels completely natural and heart-wrenchingly honest. The real-people characters navigate emotional and physical obstacles that they often aren’t able to completely articulate, even to themselves.
