PO BOY TANGO Announced At Tacoma Little Theatre To Kick Off 2023
Tacoma Little Theatre's production of Po Boy Tango features Sam Lai as Richie Po, Michelle Blackmon as Gloria B., and Aya Hashiguchi Clark as Po Mama.
For its first show of 2023, Tacoma Little Theatre presents Po Boy Tango, by Kenneth Lin. This celebration of the human spirit and the joy of cooking will be directed by David Hsieh.
Po Boy Tango tells the story of Richie Po, a Taiwanese immigrant who turns to his estranged friend Gloria, an African-American Soul Food Chef, to help him recreate his mother's 'Great Banquet'. Despite the challenges of shark fin soup, duck po boy sandwiches, and underlying cultural tensions, they find common ground through their shared humor and the blending of traditional Chinese cuisine and African-American soul food. Helped by lessons from Po Mama's television cooking show, the two discover a deeper understanding of food, culture, and the nature of friendship.
Tacoma Little Theatre's production of Po Boy Tango features Sam Lai as Richie Po, Michelle Blackmon as Gloria B., and Aya Hashiguchi Clark as Po Mama.
