Share
Dragon Mama is the Los Angeles premiere written and performed by Sara Porkalob, marking the second part of The Dragon Cycle. The story follows Maria Porkalob, Jr. as she grapples with an unexpected opportunity for freedom that challenges her responsibilities to her family in Bremerton, WA. Infused with Filipino gangsters, ghosts, and a vibrant '90s R&B soundtrack, this solo show explores themes of resilience, queer love, and the pursuit of home. Directed by Andrew Russell, this production promises a raw and humorous narrative.

Review: DRAGON LADY at Geffen Playhouse

September 18, 2024

In its L.A. premiere at the Geffen Playhouse directed by Andrew Russell, DRAGON LADY is every inch an homage to Maria Sr., who died in 2022, but also to resilience. Watching Porkalob crawl inside the skins these two little boys who are playing the part of super heroes ... is to take a wicked cool journey, the kind that only happens in live theater.
