WHO & WHAT
Join Leilani Chan, Ova Saopeng and Litdet Viravong, the cast of Refugee Nation in Long Beach, CA for an open rehearsal as they prepare to go on tour to Minneapolis! Celebrate early for the Southeast Asian New Year and help us bring blessings to the Minneapolis Lao community. Food will be served.
ABOUT THE PLAY
A mother lives alone in darkness. A father struggles to forget a lost war. A son battles in the streets of urban America. A daughter searches for answers in her community. Based on stories collected from Lao refugees in the US, Refugee Nation is about a young generation struggling to understand their history and the silence of an elder generation still healing from the traumas of war.
