The next event will take place on NOVEMBER 20 at 7pm, and will stream online through NOVEMBER 24, in partnership with the acclaimed Ma-Yi Theater Company (Ralph B. Peña, Producing Artistic Director)­-one of the country's leading incubators of new works shaping local and national conversations about what it means to be Asian American today-to share a story as current as the headlines in today's news. Written by rising star Stefani Kuo and directed by Mei Ann Teo (SKiNFoLK: An American Show), Final Boarding Call tells the stories of the current Hong Kong protests. The play revolves around the interconnected stories of seven characters whose backgrounds and perspectives run the spectrum - a protesting brother and his flight attendant sister struggling to keep her job; a Mainland Chinese mother and her estranged Hong Kong daughter; a non-Cantonese speaking reporter and her Indian partner; and an American expat CEO and their Hong Kong lover living in the shadows. The play begins and ends with a flight, an entrance into the Hong Kong protests and how the politics we see on the news every day affects the citizens of Hong Kong in their day-to-day lives. It gives the audience a window into China's grip on global capitalism. How far will they go to fight for family, freedom, and the right to be heard?
