HOME / PRODUCTION HISTORY / CHINA DOLL
A ONE-WOMAN PERFORMANCE INSPIRED BY THE FIRST ASIAN AMERICAN MOVIE STAR
China Doll, a sensual fantasia written by award-winning playwright Elizabeth Wong and performed by Monica Ho, tells the story of a Chinatown girl who dreams about making it big in Hollywood. In this 35-minute performance, Anna May is an established movie star of numerous films. Hoping for what might be a career-defining role, she excitedly meets with movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn, sure he'll offer her the role of a lifetime. He makes an offer, but it's not what she expected.
Afterward, Artistic Director Lily Tung Crystal will host Mu-tini Hour with Elizabeth, Monica, and University of Minnesota professor Josephine Lee. They'll talk about the creative process, the history of Asian American representation, and the launch of our exciting new play reading book club: "The Artistry of the Asian American Actor with Josephine Lee."
