American Rice
Discovery Theater Performance |
|
|
(for ages 6-10) Three Asian kids -- a savvy urban music lover, a hyper-intelligent overachiever, and a shy newcomer who draws like a dream -- yearn to find their voice and their place in the talent show at school. In their struggle to be both Asian and American, they show us how to embrace our roots and showcase our strengths, while reclaiming our individuality and pride. Blending hip-hop, art, language, and audience participation, this imaginative story speaks to all new Americans finding their way in today's world. Celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
Note: $6, adults; $5, children (ages 2-16); $4, Resident Members.
