ABOUT ABOUT

As of this morning, Friday August 22, the Friday and Saturday performances are sold out online, but if you email [email protected], your name will be added to the wait-list in the order received, and at 7:20pm, any tickets that have not been picked up will be released to the waiting list. We usually have a number of no-shows (5-10), so there's a decent chance we can get you in.

Pork Filled Productions and SIS Productions, in association with Theatre Off Jackson, present

Vietgone, a play by Qui Nguyen and original music by Shane Rettig

It's 1975 and two young survivors (who may or may not be the playwright's parents) meet in a Vietnamese refugee camp in Arkansas shortly after the fall of Saigon. Will this strange new land of burritos, hippies and pot allow them to fall in love? Qui Nguyen (Raya and the Last Dragon, She Kills Monsters) irreverently flips stereotypes on their head, remixes history and pop culture and cooks up a sexy, funny and energetic romp that may be his own secret origin story.

Directed by Mimi Katano
Musical Direction by YUELAN

Featuring Wendy Chinn, Josh Erme, Megan Huynh, Van Lang Pham, Hank Tian (understudies: James Lee, Kathy Hsieh, Adele Lim).

Run time of two hours and twenty minutes (including a ten minute intermission)

(For the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, printed scripts will be available at the box office). Closed captions will also be available at selected perfomances)
