Jupiter And Nebula

Synopsis:
a stark look at two loathingly unlovable people looking to find love in each other and within themselves. Is there a limit to loving a person? Is there such a thing as an act that can't be forgiven? These and many other questions are explored in this brutally honest one act.

Shui Jiao (Dumpling)

Synopsis:
Shui Jiao (Dumpling) is a bold new work by 25-year-old newcomer Wesley Du, in which Daniel Lai, a former boxer and Vietnam War veteran, is confronted with the bitterness and mistakes of his past as he struggles to hold on to his estranged wife and rebellious teenage son. Shui Jiao (Dumpling) is an initimate, comic and ultimately heartbreaking saga of a Chinese American family and post-war generational conflict.
