Pork Filled Productions and SIS Productions, in association with Theatre Off Jackson, presents
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: Kathy Hsieh, Adele Lim, Simon Tran).
