Shannon Tyo (Bright Half Life) and Daniel K. Isaac (The Gentleman Caller, Billions) star in this two-hander, directed by Ma-Yi Theater Company's Producing Artistic Director Ralph B. Peña.

Joining the cast, crew, creative team, family and friends at the party were Isaac's Billions (SHOWTIME) castmates, Dan Soder and Asia Kate Dillon. Also in attendance were Former Executive Director of Ma-Yi Theater Company, Jorge Ortoll, NAATCO co-founder and Artistic Producing Director Mia Katigbak, TV and theater legend Virginia Wing and OBIE Award winning actress Ching Valdes-Aran

Lloyd Suh's play spins a tale of dark poetic whimsy as it follows the life os Afong Moy who, in 1834, is brought to the United States from Beijing and put on display for the American public as the "Chinese Lady." For many years, she performs in a side show that both defines and challenges her own view of herself. Inspired by the true story of America's first female Chinese immigrant.
