Show Me Some Stuff

Synopsis:
Chicago, 1978. Disco rules. It's been 5 years since the tragic and untimely death of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee. Jenny Fong is a 13-year old Japanese-Chinese-American girl who's become a street-fighting, ass-kicking, gung-fu/Bruce Lee fanatic. Her best friend is a skinny kid who happens to be named Bruce Lee; a killer on the dance floor but a major nerd on the streets, who Jenny saves from local toughs. While Dad plays it cool, Mom really wishes Jenny would be more of a "normal" girl. When the annual Ja community dance arrives, things come to a head between mother and daughter. In the midst of this family Drama, the ghost of Bruce Lee appears (in a glass of water) to help Jenny on her journey.

We are delighted to receive information from users where our own research has been unable to locate details on the holder of a play's rights.doollee.com contains a comprehensive listing for each new play written in English produced by professional theatre companies, venues, festivals, commercial producers and once-off-producers from 1956 to the present. It includes adaptations, translations and new versions.
