Take any Chinese last name, and there exists a corresponding "family association" with branches in each major American city, Chinese American men's clubs formed over a hundred years ago. For nearly twenty years, playwright Lauren Yee's father Larry has been a driving force in the Yee Family Association. Until now. Amid a backdrop of crumbling Chinatowns and all-too-lifelike museums, Lauren races through history, space, and the fourth wall to find her father in this joyride through San Francisco's disappearing past.
April's Rough Reading presents an intimate reading of Lauren Yee's new play in early draft form, offering audiences a rare opportunity to engage directly with the artistic process of bringing a play to life. Produced by Playwrights Foundation in partnership with the National Center for New Plays at Stanford.
