Broadway star Sara Porkalob returns to Geffen Playhouse for the second installment of The Dragon Cycle. In this next chapter, Maria Porkalob, Jr. dreams of a bigger, gayer life beyond Bremerton, WA. But when an unexpected chance to escape arises, she faces an impossible choice—stay with her struggling family or chase freedom in the wilds of Alaska. Packed with ghosts, Filipino gangsters, and a killer ’90s R&B soundtrack, this award-winning, high-octane solo show is a raw, hilarious, and deeply moving story of resilience, queer love, and what it takes to break free and find home.
The first installment of The Dragon Cycle, Dragon Lady, had its Los Angeles premiere at Geffen Playhouse in September 2024 as part of Artistic Director Tarell Alvin McCraney's inaugural 2024/2025 season lineup.
