Free Staged Reading of MAN OF MY DREAMS Coming to LaGuardia PAC in LIC
Katherine Lynn-Rose, Clark Mantilla, and James Wei-Yuan Wong star in the new musical by Melisa Tien and Jackson Talley.
A staged reading and talk back will take place of Man of My Dreams, a short, proof-of-concept musical with book and lyrics by Melisa Tien and music by Jackson Talley, directed by Angel Katthi on Monday, May 18, 2026 at 7 PM at the Little Theater at LaGuardia Performing Arts Center in Long Island City, Queens.
In contemporary China, a happily married woman hires another woman to cosplay a fantasy boyfriend from a video game - and goes on real-life dates with him. What begins as a private indulgence launches her into an unexpected journey of self-discovery, as she questions her sexuality, her marriage, and what she truly desires. Man of My Dreams is a short, proof-of-concept musical - warm, witty, and deeply human - about identity, intimacy, and the courage it takes to ask for what you want.
The reading will feature Katherine Lynn-Rose, Clark Mantilla, and James Wei-Yuan Wong, with a post-show talk back moderated by Harrow Sansom Choi. Admission is free; RSVP at https://www.lpac.nyc/upcoming-events/man-of-my-dreams.
